I’m a ‘gold digger’ – I’m all about blood, sweat & beers, people say ‘there’s nothing better than a girl in the trades’
A WOMAN working as a gold miner has revealed she wouldn’t swap the blood, sweat, and beers for anything.
She is super proud to be a “blue-collar babe.”
Her followers also love seeing a woman working in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
One fan was even moved to say that “there’s nothing better than a girl in the trades.”
TikTok user Spacee Kacee (@kaceeandrews), describes herself on her platform as a “metalhead.”
But in her post, she confided that she has had to confront opposition from unexpected quarters when it comes to working in the trades.
She said some women were not altogether happy about their sisters going into formerly male-only roles.
“To the ladies who decided to get uncomfortable,” she said in her post, as she prepared for a day in the gold mine.
She is a blaster and works with explosives, so she was dressed in head-to-toe safety gear.
This lady has ignored the detractors. She loves her work in the mines of Northern Ontario.
“They call me a gold digger,” she declared.
Comments were devoid of hardly any mansplainers, with most of the comments celebrating her choice to enter a career in mining.
“There’s nothing better than a woman in the trades,” was a view echoed by many.
Another wrote: “Nothing better than a blue-collar woman.”
But the concluding remark came from this smitten viewer.
“Perfect wife doesn’t exist – well you just showed they do,” he gushed.
