Shianne Fox, a female landscaper in Sydney, has become a social media sensation calling out what she sees as a workplace double standard preventing her from going topless, unlike her male coworkers. On a sweltering 40°C day, her request to shed her shirt was declined, labeled as potentially distracting.
Shianne, comfortable in her bikini tops, says there is nothing inherently inappropriate about a woman’s body and questions why society is bothered by it. She hopes her outspokenness encourages more women to enter traditionally male trades.
