Why are so many women afraid of power tools and machinery?

Has anyone else ever noticed how much more timid women are with working around noisy power equipment, guns, and machinery than men are? Do they feel overpowered by this stuff or something?

Note: This doesn’t apply to all women, as I do know of several women that aren’t afraid of these things. Although, most of those I’ve talked with told me that they were afraid at first and then they got used to it over time.

For the fear that it can be fairly said that it quite apparent through advertisement and machinery type people while women and may other ways to show that women do use machinery type people through this think it is sexist it quite apparent.

no, i think men are raised to be more MACHO around guns and machinery, and therefore do themselves more harm with said equipment.

Women are better at cooking and stuff and men like to play with power tools.

Most of us weren’t taught to use them like boys were.

I think it is only sensible to have a little extra caution with a gadget that you don’t know how to use yet that could take somebody’s finger off or kill them. People are squishy. Big strong man fingers and little delicate lady fingers are all the same to a band saw, yaknow? We’re ALL overpowered by this stuff, and gory things can happen when we forget. I might as well ask why some guys out there seem so blase about power equipment, guns, and heavy machinery.
