I absolutely agree, I think a lot of women would love to learn how to change the oil on your car, or how to fix a leaky sink. I often wish I grew up with somebody who could have taught me those things, because then I could save money by being more self-sustaining and self-reliant.
Honestly though even my dad doesn't know how to do those things, he's more of the absent-minded professor type, not the handyman type.
Not only that, but I think when you learn to do things like taking apart car engines and building cabinets and things like that when you're young, your brain becomes naturally better at doing engineering and construction and building things of that nature.
See I've asked men, family and friends, to teach me how to do simple things on my car and fix stuff (plumbing, decking, ect.) and while they miight act like they want to they usually just come in and fucking do it themselves and act irritated or aloof when I ask them questions or try to get a better look at what they're doing.
It's annoying. But I've instead blundered my way through learning this stuff on my own. I've had to teach myself most of my life skills come to think of it... It may have something to do with me being a slow learner and people having no patience but I do find that men tend to be more doers. They often feel it's not their responsibility to teach unless it is.

Aww, that sucks that they didn't take you seriously and viewed you as a nuisance.
Come to think of it I taught myself most of my life skills too. Probably explains why I still can't sew, change a tire, or change my oil properly. But I did at least teach myself how to cook and how to operate a handgun and how to do laundry.

How I learned to do a lot of things especially in basic car maintenance. My dad taught me certain things but a lot of cars are different than the ones I was taught on.

True but I'm what the first world educational institution calls "learning disabled" and doing shit from youtube means I'm probably going to break it. I'd rather have someone there watching me and guiding me through step by step. The only thing that's saved me in winging it is having a decent understanding of mechanics and physics. Which came about fromm breaking things

Aye, funny enough I took home ec and blundered my way through there too. I learned how to clean by the teacher getting really upset at how I cleaned (come to find out moving cookie crumbs from one spot to another isn't cleaning.) and I messed up on my sewing project so bad I had to start over twice and the teacher ended up giving me an F for it. Apparently my older brother eating my potato baby was the last straw. Only class I ever failed in grade school

But on the other hand I had to teach myself to do laundry and upkeep a proper home. I did my fair of chores but I mostly got stuck doing yard work and generally more boy centric jobs.

Practice makes perfect. I think that's why alot of people end up sticking to the same things they know how to do as an adult, especially when they have someone to do the other stuff for them.
It's not been easy but I'm keenly aware that I would not be so self reliant if I didn't have to.

And herein lies some of the problems in society, a perpetuation of the same ideals etc... for no reason other than the fear of doing something different. Like perpetuating the ignorance of hoodlum culture (white or people of color, and it is misogynistic mostly), or male and female roles that perpetuate what one should or shouldn't do, ways to be or shouldn't be, ways to act or shouldn't act, how one talks/speaks/walks etc... People saying "the pussification of men" and BS like that. "They're making all our boys/young men into pansies", stfu! People are realizing that all those alpha and beta roles are changing with the progress of computers, intelligence, science, and it scares them

I don't see what computers have to do with anything. If a young male can't do basic maintenance on a car I will roll my eyes. Or know the difference between screwdrivers, the use and application of basic tools. How to read a tape. Etc.

Ya I was reading about how women like masculine men to put the seed in. Then more of your androgynous men for rearing there child. Maybe that's why it seems like all the girls I meet my age around this town are single mothers with no baby daddy in site.

Crystal G said: Could those statistics possibly be due to the fact that women have gotten fed up by what happens in a typical marriage? (And it's not over 80% btw, it's more like 65% of divorces are initiated by women).
I mean really, in a traditional marriage, the man usually gets taken care of while the woman does all the household and cleaning chores, and she is saddled with most of the responsibilities with the children.
I've found this to be common even among households where both couples work full-time, for some reason the household chores and child raising duties ultimately fall on the responsibility of the woman. That's probably one huge reason men live longer due to being married.
Apparently women report less satisfaction than men while being married. I wouldn't initiate divorce either if I had all the perks of a domestic servant.
I think you have some things backwards and misunderstand.
#1 : Men don't live longer than women. In the U.S., life expectancy at birth is about 79 years for women and about 72 years for men. A good portion of this skew reflects the stress than men take on that women never see, hear of, or have to go through. Also the psychological stress than women cause by not provide a nurturing haven away from the world. Men don't want to go out and fight like dogs in the world only to come home and feel they have to compete with their wife. No man wants that shit.
Further, women are biologically capable of coping with more stress due to estrogen. Testosterone wreaks havoc on the body .. It's what men function on when stressed.
Women are more likely to be unhappy with themselves and marriage over time for reasons that have nothing to do with men and moreso with their biological predispositions. As I recall, studies and data support this. A man has the burden of knowing at the end of the day, no matter what a women says or what silly social lie is perpetuated that there is an expectation that they ensure bring home the resources necessary to care for the family. Lets see what a quick google renders on that subject : http://www.today.com/health/household-chores-not-reason-why-many-marriages-split-after-all-t101239
So, if a man has the burden (and it truly is a burden) to know they have to go out into society and fight for peanuts to support their family, is it not fair that a woman take on an equally challenging and important role in the family? Do you think men enjoy having to wake up everyday going to a job they don't like going to in order to support their families? Do you think that is some badge of honor we wear to feel like we've accomplished something and are valued? No, were valued when we have a family and a wife to come home to who will respect and honor our hard work to put them first and foremost in our lives. A job is just a means to sustain that... Women by and large get convinced that a job is something beyond just a paycheck. As a result, it serves as a wedge between the connection that they develop with men. 'I got my own resources and independence.. i don't need a man'.. What's a man to do w/ that? Were looking for a nurturing haven.. We haven't forgotten that.
Further, what's the big hangup with household chores? Don't we have things like dishwashers, dryers, washing machines, roombas ? It always amazes me when people bitch about something that takes 10min to do. Most men have lived on their own for some time in America. We clean, do laundry, cook.. It's not that serious and can actually be therapeutic .
Society seemingly convinced women by and large to abandon more traditional roles to get out in the work place by and large and compete with men for resources. No one's raising, nurturing or looking out for the kids anymore and thus we have a whole generation of delusional brats. Getting out in the workplace competing for resources with your husband isn't all its cracked up to be and households are pulling in far less effective income than what was occurring back in the day. Day-care is very expensive. Taxes on dull income is nothing to sneeze at and all sorts of things got mixed up in the process.
So, in the end, lots was lost. Somethings were gained. This isn't a male/female battle. It's more about : How do we come together and live beautiful lives together.
Very crafty people have figured out how to break that up for profit while many dumb people fell for it. It's why the west is the the belly of a decline.

Interestingly I don't subscribe to the alpha beta false dichotomy, am a millennial who is quite liberal, grew up during the fundamental development of the internet, broad proliferation of computer usage, am quite intelligent, highly degreed, am versed in science. I believe men and women are equal and always have been. Equal but different and differences should be celebrated. That being said, I can quite clearly point out very informed and intelligent coverage of the movement that with one hand aimed to elevate women but with the other hand undermined men.. Most intelligent people actually can :
http://www.npr.org/2013/02/12/171806323/boys-are-at-the-back-of-the-class http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/boys-gender-equity-crisis/
Zero-tolerance for male behavior began during the rise of third wave feminism. It stunted the development of a lot of boys and the results are easily viewed now that they have grown into young adults. Very intelligent people (both women and men) were sounding the alarm on this but were ignored in favor of group think populism and main-steam idiocy.
The problem with societies has most often been the idiots who drown out reasoned discourse with inane ideas typically masked under the veil of (progress). Telling young boys it was bad to behave in a manner natural to them and causing them to subdue expressions while telling young women they can do and be anything including everything that a man is created a very toxic culture and environment in this country. It seems to be reversing as people have had enough of that flawed experiment. The only question is how ugly the reversal back to normalcy will be. The tone of it lies in the hands of the special snowflakes that society raised while they were off being clowns about gender roles and possibilities.
Suffice to say, nature will always win out as it has for all of history. I think a lot of people think they are intelligent and informed on a matter that they have the least of all knowledge about which is why they have such hardline stances on toxic and destructive social norms masked as progress.

I was born in 91. Does that make me a millennial? I'm not sure when the start date for that is but I'd be really offended if someone called me a millennial. I've talked with quite a few friends one was the person who said that.
Huh. Never really thought about it. Millenials are lazy and can't build dick. That's not how I was raised. I helped build are cabin foundation to roofing and run a business from running fliers door to door to doing 14k jobs in 2 days. My dad decided to become a crackhead and threw everything we built together away but that's neither here nor there. I do hold a resentment about it. We made it. Ugh.

Males have natures and predispositions. Females have natures and predispositions. There are outliers among males and females who don't fall under observed norms.
Both observed norms and outliers are fine and should be accepted. By the early 2000s, this was understood and embraced. Somehow this got turned into a cluster-fuck of confusion disorder and bashing of norms by the mid 2000s. The roles of males haven't changed all that much. The expectation is still there if conditions present themselves.
Women are very good at saying what they want which is one thing but in the heat of the moment switching to something else.. A perfect example is when a woman declares she wants a compassionate understanding and non-dominant man but then goes and calls him a pussy whose she's tired of while jumping off to a dominant man who reminds her of what it is to be a woman.
With prosperity or the illusion of prosperity people went on to create new problems that didn't exist before and that's just human nature.
Women still value dominant and aggressive males and testosterone predisposes males naturally towards it just as estrogen predisposes women to nurture. Shoot yourself full of some testosterone and see how it magically changes your perception and predisposition? The social joke was that you can somehow override these predisposition with social engineering. You can only subdue them and nature eventually wins out.
civilized and cordial human beings for advancement are products of prosperity and are a luxury. With changing economic realities, many will see how quickly these social priorities can change.
Traditional masculinity is quite intellectual. Looking around at all of the constructions, technology, and science developed under it is a clear demonstration of that fact.
What is damaging is when its not nurtured towards harmonious ends which is the role of women in a society. Guess what happens when no ones nurturing or guiding the world's offspring.. You get the silly ass confused world we have right now.
Yet it is par for the course to ignore all of man's contributions to the world that every uses on a day to day basis, call male behavior intellectual, and act as though thousands of years of progress to this point occurred to Tyranical knuckle draggers.
We can build an amazing world together as male/female or we can destroy it. Pitting women against men is a divisive and destructive anti-intellectual theme that permeated society for nothing more than to create profit from chaos and confusion.
If a true battle were to occur between the sexes w/o leniancy, one only need look at the tragic history of the human species for what happens when men war with each other. If women ever thought they were going to win that battle, the social psyche of women must have really gotten twisted.
So, lets live together in harmony and embrace our differences instead of being ass-clowns about them.

My dad decided to become a crackhead and threw everything we built together away but that's neither here nor there. I do hold a resentment about it. We made it. Ugh.
Yep. A generation is about 20- 30 years. Millennials range from 1980s as starting birth years and ending birth years ranging from the mid-1990s to early 2000s... could even stretch this to 2010 if you applied a 30 year range.
A generation used to span 30 years as society didn't move so fast. Society is so dynamic now that a generation can almost be split in half. So, i'd say there are two slices of millenials. The older and the younger half.
The older half centered around the 80s and early 90s was born into an environment in which we had to fight and establish our generation beyond the previous generation. We grew up while the internet was forming. We embraced non-pc beliefs and attitudes. Memes, trolling, netspeak.. Fact checking using online resources.. Coming together racially.. people like Dave Chapelle .. the rebels.. the social pioneering all got started and cemented in this first half. The 2nd half arrived on the scene under ideal conditions and got spoiled. Having no real serious battles to wage, they started to reinvent and overdramatize problems... What if I want to wear a skirt and go into a girl's bathroom and go pee-pee.. You don't have the right to say something that offends me.. Stupid shit like that.
The older millennials created a meme for this when it got started : '1st world problems' meme
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=First%20World%20Problems
 We were on top of social movements and already had a meme for when these snowflakes began getting groomed.
What has resulted as of 2016 is nothing short of breathtaking. These little fuckers have singly handedly undone much of what progress was made by the older millennials : reignited racial tensions, reversed liberal freedom of speech in which we (older millenials) would say whatever the hell was on your mind no matter if it offends someone (especially if it offends someone), confused the shit out of people w/ respect to gender roles and norms, became sensitive snowflakes.. etc etc.
The 80/90s portion of the millennial group were the rebels who had to fight to establish new footing. We did so by breaking down barriers constructively and embracing those on the other side. If Dave Chappelle were to try his meteoric rise in today's society, he'd never see the light of day. You see the difference?
So yeah, the country is in a really fucked up and ass backwards place. I was shocked when someone showed me that the South Park episode about safe spaces was an actual reality.
It went from 100 to 0 real quick :

The more I researched it, I began to put two and two together as to how this shit show got started. I was worried for a while up until this seemingly 360* turn that occurred as of this election.
I have high hopes that the older portion of the millennial generation is going to step up into prominent leadership roles in this country and wrestle this sinking ship back from the ongoing disaster being created by the baby boomer generation while also being thrown into the gutter by the younger half of the millennial generation.
You'd think these little fuckers would know better but then again, they didn't grow up during the generational transition and they didn't work to create the fundamental sea change that they were just born into...
No nurturing family unit to support them and left to the devices of our flawed societal structures, many of them went off the deep end and turned into the very batshit hypercritical social conservatives they claim to hate.
It's truly a beauty when you see how this shit show comes full circle in cycles and how various seeds are sown over time. It's also scary as shit when you come to realize that only a small minority are aware of this clown show, many aren't aware and are seemingly just droning along like lemmings to the drumbeat, and there are many lunatics who believe they are somehow the victims of some grand injustice (a delusion that is of their own making) and a self-manifested one that rose from being spoiled rotten.
But hey, there's nothing like grand economic recessions/depressions to remind people of what's really important.. Which is why, given the fragile social fabric that presently persists, the reckoning has been delayed so long.
Some dank times ahead fam .. (taping into the early 90s speak : If these p*****s think these are hard times, these f****ts are really going to be trippin' out once things get real)
