I have several women miner friends that I'll put up against any man for a
number of good reasons. They are excellent workingmen and more than just a
bit proud of their conditioning and ability. I am proud to call them "pard"
and know I can depend on them for their attitude and ability. Once a person
has made a hand, sex is a secondary concern and they are just damn proud to
be who they are and what they are. They are miners, geologists, truck
drivers, machine operators, techs and just plain labor but they have carried
a sense of duty into the field that kicks men's butts everytime. Most of
them can do all of this while still rasing a family. They have my respect!
