ᐅ Why is no one allowed to install my washbasins?

Hello,
can anyone maybe shed some light on this?
I've already heard from two companies that they cannot provide a quote for installing the washbasins we supplied ourselves because they are not allowed to install them dürfen. Even our plumber, who is handling the rest of the house installations, said he is not allowed to do it. Then I asked a carpentry company installing our staircase, and they also say they are not allowed to do it. I am also not receiving any offers or inquiries from my request for quotes on MyHammer.
I'm missing a piece of the puzzle here to understand. Why exactly is no one allowed to do this?

Check out the hardware store or community college; they often offer courses specifically for women.
Ideally, these should also be taught by women – few things discourage female beginners more than mansplaining.

"Courses for women" are already a form of discrimination in itself for both sides, aren’t they?
Besides, I also feel excluded and discriminated against because of that. Then add the question about the instructor’s gender, and it all starts over again.

I myself grew up with coeducation, but "girls only" programs have been proven to be beneficial. It should be emphasized that these are programs—discrimination would occur if the girls had no choice and had to attend the girls-only course.

Maybe there are courses just for men? There, men can exchange ideas without worrying about embarrassing themselves in front of the fairer sex. And they get beer instead of sparkling wine.

I didn’t want to start a discussion about equality, but just wanted to suggest a way for the original poster to build practical skills. A few abilities never hurt.

….or for me, since I’m not allowed to go there because of my gender – you really get lost among all the big, strong men…..

That was absolutely right and it’s a great idea that hopefully gets embraced. By the way, embarrassing yourself in front of other men of the same gender is often more uncomfortable and happens more frequently, because these guys usually already think they know and can do everything.
