UK building community On The Tools is being accused of sexism after enlisting models in skimpy, construction-inspired attire for an awards show.A website intended to build community among construction workers is getting a taste of the wrecking ball after dressing female models in skimpy, construction-inspired attire to spice up an annual industry event lambasted by DEI activists as “sexist.”
Allen, a former construction company director, found the display regressive and misogynist, given that she has been “fighting really hard for PPE that fits, for women and other diverse groups.”I accidentally found out a family secret when I was 14 — it changed my lifeDiversity campaigner Faye Allen diversity campaigner was quick to blast the bash, claiming that “horrified” attendees reached out to her with complaints, including one woman who “literally walked into a crotch.
Waley-Cohen added, “Women have far shorter careers than men in construction, according to RICS data. It’s not surprising women are leaving if they are unsafe at work and routinely sexualized. What happened absolutely reinforces all of this.” “We asked for a construction theme but didn’t check the outfits,” CEO and co-founder Lee Wilcox said. “But no matter the ins and outs of it and how it happened, this was a f–k up and we’re sorry.”
