Manly Men! and stereotypes

[Sil]

hey everyone,

so my car battery just died, and I opened the hood to look under. I might as well have been staring at an open-heart surgery patient for the amount of use it did! no loose wires, check... nothing exploding...check... nothing leaking.

The guy (unfortunately not hot) from recovery comes to help me out, undoes the battery inlets, shows me the liquid levels, explains the situation. I felt like such a yutz, it took him literally about 3 minutes to fix with a quick jump.


So I was wondering - how many of you would consider yourselves useful manly men, in the old 1950's stereotype sense? I suppose I'm asking for skills related to gender stereotypes. Can you wire a plug, fix a car, sort out your plumbing?

I know I'm pretty useless... but hey I make chocolate cakes and play guitar
