What are we doing to help women enter high paying fields such as construction, oil field work and mining?

Question

I see a lot of effort in addressing the 'pay gap' in terms of wanting more female CEOs, board members and executives as they are under represented in these areas.

Construction, mining, oilfield work, offshore oil and gas production, dangerous professions like deep sea fishing and industrial waste management are 99% men and pay well. What is feminism doing to help women go out and do the labor intensive, dangerous and hostile condition jobs that pay well in order to address the pay gap?

Woman make more money when we are in equal positions.
Not by much - .7%

Predominately women don't enjoy these jobs- they would rather be a cashier than a factory worker.
- so it makes it great because then we can throw around how much less woman make.

What is feminism doing to help them? Blaming men for a fictitious pay gap.

Labor intensive, dangerous and hostile condition jobs are generally for uneducated people.   They pay well because these jobs are undesirable.

I'd much prefer my daughters (and sons) to attend a four year university and have a STEM career.

This has nothing to do with feminism.   It has to do with health, safety and quality of life.
