Yep definitely a tad clumsy there however women have been known to commit murder whilst suffering from PMT so I suppose it has to be considered the same as mens mood swings .

Yesterday I was driving down the local main road when a bright yellow Lamborghini overtook me, went roaring down the road, engine noise was deafening...a few moments later we all had to stop at lights, I glanced at the chap in the next car and he was laughing and waggling his little finger!
Then I looked around and everyone in the queue was in fits, either raising eyes to heaven or wiggling fingers!

Still, as long as Baby Driver was happy!!

Re: Somethings are better done by men

I have done a lot of heavy labour in my life, along with my sisters we had to help our in our father's horticultural business from the age of 8.

One of our properties needed a soakaway. I was the person who did all the digging and constructed it.

If people are capable and like doing the work let them, whoever they are. Makes sense to me.

Re: Somethings are better done by men

I don't understand why we judge people's ability by their sex , we are all individuals so our physical, mental and emotional abilities are governed by the individual we are.

Of course men are usually stronger and women are often better carers, but all of us can step over the sex boundaries if we have the physical or mental abilities.
I have known men that could easily pick me up and abduct me, but I have also know men that I can mentally destroy with words.

Perhaps we should all accept that our sex doesn't give us the ability to be stronger or cleverer... we do that by choosing what we are good at and working on improving that ability.

Plenty. For instance, I have the maths ability of a 6 month old baby, if that. Without my calculator I am totally stuffed. I am not good at map reading or following written instructions, even though I have been a very good reader since childhood.
Sewing and knitting are not one of my strong points. I took all term to make a beach wrap when at school.

Twink, The bit about mentally destroying men with words isn’t something l would be proud to admit to.
Why just men? This is like, you lost a battle and homed in on their weakness.
