Of course you think it was for "free."

Right... Nothing is free and those cost are built into the bill you get. The markup is 200% on parts and it cost you a "trip fee" just to arrive.

The free estimates come with system replacements.

Changing an alternator is easy.....restoring a 69 SS Chevelle with original parts is more my style.
You cant stand it that women know how to do mechanical things, can you?
I bet it was easy. What voltage does a battery have to be at to keep from destroying the windings on your brand new alternator?

You did check that, right?

Yes, these women are nasty and hypocritical, but a man should never strike a woman for her insulting provocations. That's what they want, in many cases. It's the bad boy syndrome. They won't respect you until they provoke you into doing something very wrong. But it's not worth the price.
If you think women want to be hit by men, under any circumstances--that if a woman gets into an argument with a man, she's secretly begging him to give her a black eye because she likes "bad boys"--then you've got more problems than I can deal with.

As far as "back talking" goes here--is that how some of you see it? You say something stupid, women say something back, and they're "back talking" vs calling you out for being a complete idiot/jerk? To look at it that way, you'd have to consider yourself superior, just because you're male, to everyone around you, and that you somehow have the right to say whatever you want without opposition just because you're male. That not only makes some of you jerks--it makes you delusional.

I'll agree that a woman should not attack a man for talking badly to her.
And yes, there are some crazy women out there, who will talk $#!& and provoke people, but that doesn't mean men can hit them! Besides the fact that men can cause serious physical harm to a woman with a beating (more than she could likely cause him...), it is not right to "solve" issues in this manner in a civilized society. If a woman is annoying enough that a guy want to hit her, he needs to consider a break-up/divorce/anger management therapy combo.

Instead the reverse is true. The more feminism gains, the more women lose. Women are becoming increasingly more miserable with every nail in the coffin of the patriarchy that once protected them. Read the data: The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness.
It's YOU tying the decline to feminism, NOT the report you linked to.

Decline in happiness could be from a multitude of reasons.

YOU want it to be feminism.

Why do you hate women and think they're weaklings who couldn't hurt a fly if they wanted to?



Besides, women don't fight physically. They go straight for the psychological throat.
