Manned guarding isn’t named as such due to the gender you have to be to fulfill the role; it is simply demonstrative of the action.

1. IT’S A MAN’S WORLD

2. Without sounding like a raving
feminist, as a woman I like to think
that there is no job that a woman
couldn’t do if she put her mind to it.
Now I don’t mean jobs like fixing a
tap or changing the oil in your car, I
mean a career. Women can run multi
billion dollar corporations, they can fly
RAF aircrafts and can lead political
parties but are there some jobs which
are simply suited to men based on
physicality more than brains?

3. This presentation attempts to look at just a few of those jobs in life where being
a man is better

4. MANNED GUARDING
Manned guarding isn’t named as such
due to the gender you have to be to
fulfill the role; it is simply demonstrative
of the action. In this role you are tasked
to man something. Often manned
guarding roles include patrolling offices
blocks, building sites or areas of private
land to ward of trespassers and thieves.
Alternatively you could be providing
security services for a building, venue or
individual where your presence is
needed to keep order and protect.

5. MANNED GUARDING CONT.
Whilst women are capable of doing this
job, physically we don’t have the same
presence as men when it comes to
stature, nor do we have the authoritative
tone of voice or perceived aggression.
Whilst women are as observant and can
be trained to be as powerful as men, when
it comes to perceptions of fear, we just
aren’t scary enough.

6. CONSTRUCTION
Again, there are women who work in
construction and there are jobs within
the construction industry that are in fact
better suited to a woman, but when is
comes down to it the lifting and shifting
of timber, concrete and steel is better to
suited to male physicality. They are
broader and stronger and can perform
manual labour based tasks faster and
with less assistance than women.

7. BE A BISHOP
Currently women are unable, by law to
become Bishops. Whilst there are
parties lobbying to change this ruling,
from the time the church began until
now only men can rise to the rank of
Bishop in the church. Those in
opposition of the change believe that
the scriptures require male headship in
the church.

8. SAS
Founded in 1941 the SAS is an elite sector of
the British Army who is tasked primarily with
dealing in counter terrorism during times of
peace and special operations during times
of war. The level of skill and fitness you need
to have ruled out all women from becoming
members until 2006 when 2 women
successfully completed the 23mile hike whilst
carrying full kit and sleeping in mud filled
trenches. However on completion of the
grueling course they were still omitted from
joining the SAS, making it one of the only jobs
in the world, which can’t be done by a
woman.

9. Whilst the feminist in me believe there is no job a woman couldn’t do, I can
see why there are certain jobs women just aren’t suited too. Physically we are
better suited to some tasks more than others, but as long as there are men to
fill the roles that women can’t, when working towards a common goal, does it
really matter?
