Today, I installed an air conditioning unit in a window. I removed the windows, made the measurements, installed and secured the unit and even installed corrugated plastic above the unit. I am now an official man. Who is a little handy.
This may sound sexist or something, but really, why don't women do these kinds of tasks? Aside from the problem of lifting things, is it really that difficult for women to do? What happens if there is no man? These things just don't get done? Or is it simply a matter of women having no interest in actually doing this type of work themselves? Is it like comparing everyday housework to weekend yardwork and fix-it jobs? I really don't know.
Many women have no problems telling men how they want the work they can't do done, and scoff loudly at any and every mistake the man might make, and attack his masculinity to boot. "Aren't you a MAN? Why can't you just DO THIS?" I'd like to say that just because women can menstruate (an ability that just happens by virtue of their being women), doesn't mean that I can fix your washing machine, because that is NOT something that just happens by virtue of me being male. Just saying.
