Had different sex parents. Couldn't build a halfway decent table if I tried.
Then you would be the exception and not the rule. Actually this could be an example of how gender based roles are already being negatively impacted by the negative stigma that society is attaching to being a manly man.
Though while you cannot build a table, which is just one example of a typically manly thing, what can you do? I bet you fall into a different of gender based stereotypical rules.
As for the less people = higher pay proposition, that's not the problem. The problem is supply and demand and the industry not being able to meet the minimum requirements of the population. No matter how much money you throw at people they can only do so much in a day.
Machines will have very little impact on the construction industry. Everything will still require human input. Even 3d printed building still require human monitoring since they can't do shit like put in windows in even our most advanced prototypes. Actually, the jobs most at risk by machinery are tosser commonly filed by women such at tellers, phone operators, receptionists, secretaries etc. Many of today jobs can and will be automated sin. Hell tellers are already being replaced by machines that do the same job without the human error factor.
So when the likelihood of men to do manly tasks decreases and the volume of "aoft" jobs available decreases it'll either push men who are disinclined to perform the job well back into an industry which will then be negatively impacted by bad tradesmanship or it will mean a skyrocketing unemployment rate.
this isn't going to happen tomorrow or next year. Hell, it might take 100 years to happen, but ut is my opinion, my belief, that if we continue down the current path of manshaming, white knighthood and same sex couple raising children then it is going to fuck our world.
I'm sure I just offended many people, that's great. Funny thing is I don't give a fuck what you think of my opinions and honestly you shouldn't give a fuck what my opinions are. Hell, this is the internet who really cares what anyone thinks when you can recede to a hugbox on another site. I'll probably appear in a tumblr post or a facebook conversation and someone'll get a big ol' pat on the back for calling me an asshole.
