Or woman. In my youth, my mother had a job driving a full-sized school bus that did not have power steering (I don't know about the brakes). When she first got the job, I recall her complaining about her aching arms.

At the time, I didn't appreciate the sacrifice she was making so her work hours would align with her kids' school hours.
