A young Australian farmer has expressed her frustration with the way most men treat her while she is working.
Brigitte Belle, from Warragul, Victoria, is fed up with men asking her if she needs help just because she’s a woman.
The 23-year-old works on her family’s farm, where she handles animals, operates machinery and drives large tractors to maneuver hay bales.
‘Do you know what I love to do? When men see me dragging something or reversing, they immediately say, “Oh, do you want me to do that?” video.
“I’m fine, thanks mate, I fucking know how to reverse.”
With her jeans, red flannel shirt and hair in a messy bun, Brigitte is not afraid to speak up and makes sure her opinion is heard.

‘Do you know what I love to do? When men see me dragging something or reversing, they immediately say, “Oh, do you want me to do that?” she said, adding, “I’m fine, thanks mate, I fucking know how to reverse.”
Brigitte recounted the conversation while riding a tractor to demonstrate her “perfect” skills.
“I love the surprised look on their goddamn faces when I back up in a trailer, easy peasy lemon squeezy, and it’s perfect every time, dead quiet,” she said.
“They think I’m a bloody little girl who doesn’t know a fuck. Women also know how to drive a trailer, they know how to drive big machines, grow up!
“It’s fucking 2023, mate. I’ve seen men who can’t drive behind a trailer, should I bother them? No, I won’t.’
The blonde beauty added that men should never “underestimate a woman” unless they want to be “humiliated real quick.”

The video has since been viewed two million times, with thousands praising her.
“Go girl!” one person commented, another said, “Your attitude is great.”
“I’m a man who can’t drive backwards and I would absolutely ask you to do that,” one man admitted.
Another woman said, “Sometimes we don’t know how to do something because we weren’t taught, but that’s changing.”
