I think you'll see more women in a UBI framebuilding class than you'd expect, but actually starting up a framebuilding business is another story.
That ultimately requires a surplus of money, so the person is already making enough on their day job to support their weekend hobby to eventually turn it into a weekend business. Which of course will be more difficult for women when they're still being paid less than men for equal work, in addition to having to pay out of pocket for "feminine hygiene products", expected to always "look nice", paying more for haircuts, etc.
