Right, but that's not HIS fault. It's the women!!!
The correct term is "women's". And, it is very important to use the quote marks, to indicate they are so-called women who will do anything to avoid pumping their own gas.
People with no other alternative to their solutions will grab for whatever they can grasp that will work in their favor, Whether or not it is real or perceived
It's a human thing mixed with indivual conditioning.
The easiest way to make these types of people not act this way around you is to not acknowledge the behaviour. They will move on in an attempt to find others who will give them what they desire.
I'm still trying to figure out what women's lib has to do with anything in this post. That's a really random thing to bring up which seemingly has nothing to do with the OP's question.
And how does a woman "use" women's lib as if it's something usable? It's not an object that can be used by someone so I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't even know what it is.
Please re-read the OP. I said that before they got married and needed her car fixed she would ask him to do it but all he said was if you buy the part he'd gladly put it on. Now that they're married she just expects him to pay for all repairs, those he can do and those he can't which require a trip to the repair shop. She drives the car but passes it of to him once it needs fixing.
Oh dear god, you are missing the point. They are a married couple. The intricacies of their family finances are none of your business and are not an indicator of what every other evil "women's" is likely to do.
No, I'm not bashing all women, just this one. Too many times "women" like to parade around like they don't need a man or shouting how independent they are but when it comes down to it they won't even pump their own gas. I've dated women before who would swing by and pick me up to hang out then during the day stop to get gas and turn to me and look like, "oh, you thought I was going to pump my own gas?" Or, when we go places and if they walk in front of you we get to a door and they just stand there like they can't figure out how to operate the handle. Basic "PUSH" or "PULL" and it even has it spelled out on the door. Well, I asked a few of them, "what do you do when you go to the mall alone? Do you stand outside the door till a man comes along and opens it for you?
This woman is getting basically free labor but all her husband asks her to do is simply pay for the parts and she doesn't want to do that to get her car fixed. SHE complains when he can't fix it and SHE has to take it to the shop. Yet, SHE gets mad when HE doesn't volunteer to pay for HER repairs.
Do men use all the entitlement they have always had when it suits them?
I don't feel that way, I actually like men.

Also even guys/girls/friends often don't take money for fixing things, I always give something for change. I don't personally like people who use other people for free. I don't want to be used and I dont want to use others. Also I cannot stand people who want discounts from their family, friends etc. because everyone has a family to feed. I could slap one rich dude another day when he begged discount from another person, he has no problems with money so why not value a good job but put it down for asking discount? When ever using someones time, appreciate it and don't stomp it. Bad behaviour and pure using.
Whenever we can, we actually pay some more just because good and trusted workers and good job. I think I learnt it when I was doing things and people said, take this extra, we can trust you, you are doing good job and we want you come again. I put the good forward
Are you serious? Do you understand the typical definition of marriage and what it entails? Have you ever been married? By god, "using people for free" is EXACTLY what marriage is all about! It's called "give and take"...I do stuff for you and you do stuff for me...and we don't keep score and count every penny on what it's worth because we love and respect and trust each other. If we didn't, there'd be no reason to get married.
But I guess other people have different marriages for different reasons.
I gotta admit, the thought has crossed my mind once or twice.
Do a little cherry picking here and there.
