5 Things He Doesn't Think You Can Handle
Why do we need a stylish screwdriver to get our hands dirty?
When we heard that someone was painting parking spots pink in an effort to ease women drivers between the yellow lines, we got to thinking. Is it female drivers who need the extra room or the overzealous man who can't keep his hands off our curves? Sure we've been known to shudder at the onset of an occasional spider but that's more for your benefit than ours. Men are always making modifications for their female counterparts. From shaving cream for women to push-ups on our knees, we feel as though you're trying to tell us something.
Female friendly parking spots aren't the only example of things being dumbed down for woman. Here are 5 more things he doesn’t think you can handle.
1. Martinis. Never mind the pretty blond serving up that stiff drink, a real martini is clearly too much for a woman to handle. As a result, we now have the Appleitini, Peartini, Tartini and a whole shaker's worth of fruity drinks that are one part alcohol, two parts patronizing. Alcohol is a great ice breaker.
2. Power tools. Blame it on HGTV but a spree of home improvement programming finds most of us spending Friday night at Home Depot as opposed to home in bed. While men and women alike find it nearly impossible to resist a home renovation, it's the girls who get handed the hard hat while the men cut and measure. Case in point, Tools For Women, a special set of power tools designed to "inspire women to become confident in their own abilities." Can someone please tell us why we need a stylish screwdriver to get our hands dirty?
3. NFL paraphernalia. We're petty sure we can pull off a correctly color-coded football jersey. Quarterbacks don't wear pink, so why should their female fans?
4. Razors. Don't tell us your neck is more complicated than the entire female body combined. If a woman can run a plastic razor up her leg while balancing on one foot, don't you think she can handle a battery operated Norelco? The female hair removal system revolves around a single blade and a smoldering pot of wax. Where's our flex and pivot technology? Technology Helps You Bond Over Barack

I don't get why girls need pink jerseys either. Or stylish screw drivers, but the reason our razors aren't as fancy 1) we aren't shaving or necks and 2) You guys are being screwed over by the razor industry. You don't need your razor to be that fancy.
This is HILARIOUS!!! 1) I love my 12 yr. old scotch just as much as I love my Moscato. 2) Nothing is hotter than a woman covered in sawdust and dirt while she's bent over a table saw cutting pieces for the dartboard she bought. Ok, there are hotter things, but you get the picture. 3) Not really a sports lover, but even I find it hot when my bosses wife totally smacks down another guy with her sports knowledge! 4) Ladies, I can fully appreciate what you go through with shaving because I have had to do it for certain performances. I don't know how you do it with a plastic razor, but a man's razor didn't do the best job for me either. I give full props to you! My legs were nicked to hell and back. 5) I would LOVE to just find a woman that can cook. I love to cook. I love to grill. I'd also love to kick back with a cold one while my sweety sweats over that open flame cooking us up some tasty bits. I'm all open to sharing, but its a bit difficult when for every four women I date, 3 of them can't cook, and usually the one that can is limited to eggs and fried rice.
Before thinking that things are being "dumbed" down for women (and I'll admit that a lot of things are dummied down for you) take a step back and see if you are adding to all of this. My SO is fully worried that when she finally learns to drive she'll be the quintessential female driver (not if I can help it). Most women don't want to stand out in the heat over the open flamed charcoal alter and get all sweaty and bitten by bugs. Many women, aside from having an unhealthy fear of power-tools, are also still stuck in the dated gender required position of "he's the man so he should be the one to fix stuff." Get over it. You want equality but still want a man who is successful enough to take care of you, pay the bills, fix the sink, bring home the bacon, etc. I'm not saying all of you ladies are like this, but I've met plenty that consider themselves to be forward thinking women, until the toilet backs up. Likewise, there are quite a few of you gals out there that are more butch then quite a few guys. You learned how to switch out a carbeurator while some of us are still figuring out how to use the crummy jack that came with the car. I salute you...engine oil up to your elbows is really hot, and helping you clean up is even more fun!
