The days of defined gender roles have come to a screeching halt. When I came home to my neighbor and her daughter building a concrete block wall, I knew the world had changed in some inexorable way. (It is totally beside the point that I stripped my own roof 30 years ago - I was-after all-invincible, I was one of Bob Vila's sidekicks on This Old House and we were a little wacky and way ahead of the curve.) 30 years later, we have PINK suede tool belts and steel toe work boots for "her" available at Home Depot Canada and Porsche Design Kitchens by Poggenpohl for "him." Trends in the construction industry take a long time to establish themselves, but who would have guessed 30 years?
