Why does "feminine" exclude "able to fix stuff" ?

Sorry, couldn't resist....everybody has different views of what "feminine" is.

The OP poster has a silly view of what "masculine" is.

It doesn't but since that whomever Matt wanted to "buy me a beer," I figured I needed to defend the feminine ladies who can and do fix things. I don't drink, but I suppose there may be feminine ladies who do that too.

I agree about the OP. One thing I really like in a guy is one who can show his true feelings and not try to suppress them because it isn't masculine.

I bet he learned how to hand make bombs from Bill Ayers.





That is a joke, I realize some people might not know when a statement like that is meant as such.

Mechanical aptitude is no joke. You would be amazed at how much of life opens up with the ability to understand mechanics.

You're right. When the next national Mechanics Crisis hits, we will be in BIG trouble with Obama as president.

I can't believe nobody thought of this!!!!

Somebody, quick. Send an inaccurate push e-mail.

Thermodynamics.... Explains life, humans, energy, physics, nature, mass and the conservation of all of the above.

Something a lawyer might have a hard time grasping.

I can't do those things either. I can't fathom a job in which they would be less required than the presidency.

Hmmmm, left handers are becoming the rule in leaders. Bush and Clinton are left handed. I'm so proud. Obama probably plays basketball as well as he bowls.

That's what you hire Joe the Plumber to do.

But I guess we can expect silliness like this. If you assume Joe the Plumber should be an expert at politics, you probably also assume a POTUS should be an expert at plumbing.
