In Sydney, Australia, female landscaper Shianne Fox, known as “The Bikini Tradie,” sparked debate by challenging workplace dress norms. On a 104°F (40°C) day, Fox, who wears a bikini top to cope with heat, expressed frustration on TikTok that she must wear a shirt while male colleagues go shirtless. With over four years in male-dominated trades, she argues for equal treatment, stating societal views on women’s bodies should evolve. Reactions are mixed: some support her push for equality, while others, including female tradeswomen, worry it undermines professionalism.
