@treesapits 2021 are we sure its a "she"?
This is the way it happens. Find some good role models, develop a solid ad campaign around them, and be patient. My daughter experienced it in women's golf during the last decade, and the talent pool just went nuts during that time. It all started going supersonic with one player - Anika Sorenstam - but then came Kristy Kerr, Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, Lexi Thompson, Lydia Ko, etc. The scores to get yourself onto a top 100 women's college team dropped about 8-10 strokes over the decade. I can easily see someone like Alisha inspiring some young athletes, male and female, to walk away from their chosen sport and take up tree climbing as a sport or business.She sounds like she would be a remarkable role model for a lot of the young people of today, I hope this commercial isn’t her only television appearance. Maybe TCIA/ISA could recruit her to run some ads for the tree industry as a whole, we could use a fresh face and a different approach to bringing in the next generation of the tree care industry is going to survive.
Where does THIS come from?Should we even buy echos when there isn't a single female arborist in all the land of the rising sun?
After viewing the video i can say my previous comment would have never been made.. I know this person and she is an outstanding arborist and businesswoman as well as an international competition level competitor. I beg forgiveness.
Now that sir is why you have my respect. Perhaps after this thread is tossed into the digital paper shredder you can invite her? I'm sad with the lack of female representation on the buzz, it seemed as if there were much more a while back in the days of @Nora, and when Kathy would post.. I'm proud to know a number of women in the industry in the PNW, but I can also see why they choose not to come onto the forums.After viewing the video i can say my previous comment would have never been made.. I know this person and she is an outstanding arborist and businesswoman as well as an international competition level competitor. I beg forgiveness.
Sorry Evo - I call BS. My statement had everything to do with false advertising and little else. Look into the context because you clearly missed it…My thoughts on the subject? @texasmossball i don’t see any foul on your inquiry. BUT we do live in a world where it’s likely much safer that the subject of the commercial is anonymous, wether on purpose or accident. If her name and contact info was public just imagine the type of crap that she would be subject to. Many of the posts here obviously reflect on the reasons of why it’s likely a good idea for her to be a ‘unknown’.
@oldoakman pretty out of line and character, we are all human but I’m disappointed in your comment
@treesap we now have a problem kid. I have many friends who deal with the daily threat of their LIVES due to their identities. I’ve had to go to some of their funerals too. This is a hard line and you need to seriously get your head in check. I just spent hours yesterday putting my body between full grown adult men who took it upon themselves to actively intimidate a group of out youth. The fuckers took turns pacing and surrounding kids your age. The cops just sat back and watched as their group advanced from 75 yards to within a few paces. They allowed them to circle and pace our group as well. If your interested I have video of these scum
@Chaplain242 there is more wrong with this statement than I care to address. The fact that it’s in line with a statement from a 14 year old boy who obviously needs to broaden his horizons is telling enough
I’m with stumps on this one. This thread is one of the dark days on the buzz. No wonder this specific sub forum has inches of dust on it. The fact that I know 1 woman per 10 or more men in this industry is telling enough. I work in a mircocausim and unfortunately I’ve only worked alongside one woman in my fucken 15 year carriers, and same goes for any one who is out LGBTQ.
Tom, not to be rude but you seem slow on the uptake on this. Almost like someone is telling you that this is offensive.Where does THIS come from?
Do you know this for a fact? Prove it. If not, edit your post.
..."the land of the rising sun" is offensive.
Oldoakman, someone was looking for a woman without explaination, you made a joke, nothing wrong with that. Don't bow to this stuff it will take over completely.After viewing the video i can say my previous comment would have never been made.. I know this person and she is an outstanding arborist and businesswoman as well as an international competition level competitor. I beg forgiveness.
No one has their hand up the back of my shirt. Here's a key to understanding my moderation style. Don;t react immediately to everything. Let things idle along. Most of the time someone else makes a comment that is much better than I would have written. If not I reply with scaled responses. Sometimes the first response is a private DM...and could ultimately work up to total banning.Tom, not to be rude but you seem slow on the uptake on this. Almost like someone is telling you that this is offensive.
Is there a behind the scenes cancel culture mobilization?
I sent out a fact check request to a friend of mine in Japan that will know one way or the other. Waiting for a reply.I can't prove it, it is hyperbole. However, I suspect there are very few if any female (is that offensive?) arborist in Nippon ( is that offensive?)
I don't know what treesap did wrong either.
by reinforcing a transphobic stereotype? How many trans street worker do you know/have known? Let me tell you sumthin, if its not disclosed they might wind up dead...Sorry Evo - I call BS. My statement had everything to do with false advertising and little else. Look into the context because you clearly missed it…
Again I call BS on more ingenious BS. I have spent plenty of time in the Red Light Districts of Thailand where they have developed a Katoi culture that makes the West’s attempts look childish. And I have sat down and had discussions with many in their thirties that openly declare they have no present understanding why the hell they went down the road of Trans surgery - the most common response being “I have no idea what I was doing in doing the change” (approximated to accommodate translation difficulties).by reinforcing a transphobic stereotype? How many trans street worker do you know/have known? Let me tell you sumthin, if its not disclosed they might wind up dead...
