    I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about cars. I understand theory but get me into the nitty gritty or vehicle maintenance and you may as well take a sledgehammer to the car. Same result, less work.
    This jackass never helps. Still, I think there's a phrase that is apropos:
    Haters gonna hate.
    I have a...thing. Wanna see it?

      It's like the penis is a tool they use to fix things, so there is no way a mere girl can do it.
      Those things wreck a lot more things than they fix.

        I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I know diddle about how to work on cars.

        And even MY dumb ass can deal with the air pressure in my freakin' tires!

        What an idiot. And HE'S criticizing someone who's PAID to work on cars because that person is a CHICK?

        Motherfucker, no! Just no. Go back into your cave and hide your head under a rock, because you are clearly far stupider than you are sexist.

            "Male knowledge" drops into the ballsac when the testes do.
            Rule one has been broken. That is all.
            The customer is always right, but this is a public house, and you are a guest.

              At least this guy's being overt about his sexism, so you can avoid him. Up until about 2 years ago, I had to deal with passive-aggressive sexism from a colleague at another bank. I would email to request information that he was supposed to be providing us, and instead of responding to me, he would email the information to my (male) boss. He would never reply directly to my emails, even though I was the one who needed the information, not my boss. Luckily, I no longer have to deal with the schmuck.

Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

                  Just out of curiousity, why didn't your boss ever tell this guy, "Look, you need to send this information to Ghel, not me."?

                  I am awesome with computers. Whenever something goes wrong with mine, I confidently walk up to my roommate and say, "It done broken. Please fix?"

                      He did. My boss (now retired) was the sort without any backbone and wanted everybody to like him, so on the rare occassions he tried to redirect someone, he did so in a roundabout way, trying not to hurt anyone's feelings.

                          Wow O Wow did he ever!
                          LOVE how Abbott's smirk fades as Gillard nails him TO THE WALL!
                          Who is the gentleman behind the PM to the left as the camera faces her? I liked how his facial expressions ran the gamut from a mild "Yeah, take that." to "Damn, she's burying that dude!"

                            With the exception of one guy, every guy I have dated has been taught to cook well. One guy is now working as a professional chef - he decided he liked cooking enough to go to the CIA. I have taught everybody who has even asked me.

                            Really, cooking isn't rocket science - pastry making is

                              I don't agree with everything Julia Gillard says and does; but right now I'm happy to point to her and say "She's our PM".

                              Edit to add:

                              So now we have a female Monarch (Elizabeth II), a female Governor General (Quentin Bryce), a female PM (Julia Gillard), and a female Speaker (Anna Burke). Give us a female Opposition Leader and it'll be women in all the top jobs.

                                I know nothing about Australian politics, nor about Julia Gillard or Peter Abbot, nor about the issue they are discussing.

                                But HOLY CRAP did she come out with guns blazing! As someone who has been known to occasionally point out someone's errors and hypocrisy, in the politest way of course, I am blown away by the dressing down she gave to this guy. He was clearly uncomfortable by about halfway through, and it just kept coming.

                                Wow. Just wow.
