I’m a female brickie – men who watch me work all say the grossest thing… I don’t care I’m not doing it for them
A FEMALE bricklayer has hit back at men who think she’s incapable of working in the male-dominated industry just because she’s a woman.
Darcie Richards regularly shares the constant criticism and outdated views she receives from people who don’t approve of her job.
In a recent video shared to TikTok (@rattle_kings), she can be seen responding to a man who watched her at work and then commented: “Well this has to be the most unattractive thing I’ve seen a woman do today.”
Alongside the clip, she hit back and penned: “Throwback to this s* comment.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
“Watch at your leisure, but I’m not doing this for you, I’m doing it for me.”
She added the hashtags #empowering #strongwomen #powerful.
In a previous video, Darcie praised the “army of bad b**ches out there” that are doing what they love and paying their bills at the same time.

“‘Get back in the kitchen, you’re not strong enough, what’s she doing doing a man’s job?’ Grow up,” she said.
“The reason we’re not in the kitchen is because we’re building your houses!
“Just try and be present in the 21st century, where women can do absolutely anything we want.”
The post has since gone viral, racking up thousands of views and several comments, with many commending Darcie for slamming such dated views.
“You are a celebration! Just fabulous!!” enthused one.
A second penned: “He just scared of strong and powerful woman!!
You keep being you!! You’re amazing.”
A third wrote: “You are bada** queen.”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “100% respect.”
Another added: “Awesomeness in action.”
And a further chimed in: “Pure power! Love it, go you!!”
