ANALYSIS: Why the mining industry's dirty little secret continues to repel women

In recent years there have been a plethora of initiatives from governments and the private sector aimed at trying to encourage women into science, technology, engineering and maths — areas where they are woefully under-represented globally.

Mining is the backbone of the WA economy, so it makes sense that the most obvious route to earning the serious money in this state is via a career in mining. That world-class entertainment has traditionally meant scantily-clad and often topless young women serving drinks to boisterous and overwhelmingly male delegates at networking events that most female delegates are repulsed by.

Enough is Enough laid bare the toxic and predatory culture that exists amongst FIFO workers in an industry where "sexual harassment is generally accepted or overlooked", where positions of power are abused, codes of conduct breached and cover-ups the norm.

The report led to a flurry of responses from mining companies and associated bodies keen to reassure the public that the issue was finally being taken seriously, that such behaviour would no longer be tolerated, and that reforms had been or were being implemented.

Interesting that skimpy dressed women promoting women as just sex objects to men remote and deprived is interpreted as men being the problem

Another divisive piece targeting men and falsely attributing the pay gap to systemic oppression rather than womens choice.

If teaching paid more, more males would do it for the money.

Now do nursing.
