In Sydney, a female landscaper, Shianne Fox, is challenging the double standard where men can work shirtless in the heat but women cannot. On a hot 104°F day, she vented on TikTok about being told to keep her shirt on while the men on-site were shirtless.
Fox, known as “The Bikini Tradie,” often wears a bikini top to stay comfortable but argues that women should be allowed to work topless if men can, pointing out the sexism in the workplace. She believes breasts are a natural part of the body and shouldn’t be distracting. While she often posts her work in a bikini on social media, she’s pushing for more equality, even though other women in the industry may not share her views.
