Hilarious...
For myself, I got 22 out of 25 on the man test, and 20 out of 25 on the female one.
7. How to talk back to chauvanist goons at the car dealership. (dont have that problem...)
9. How to grow plants and vegetables. (Im hopeless...)
11. How to make your own italian pizza oven. (Will fix that next year)
15. How to put on makeup. (uuuh, no...)
16. How to use household appliances. (still working on them thar fancy clothes washers and dishwashers...)
If you are a guy and got 25 out of 25, that means youre able to do #7 and #15. Well... I guess theres nothing wrong with that in this day and age...

Ok, if things like using a lawn mower or drill, troubleshooting a laptop, etc are on the women's list (and I agree they should be!)- here's a couple for the men's list:
1. Do laundry (including folding, matching socks, and putting away!)
2. Cook a proper meal for the family (including cleaning up) - note that ordering pizza, BBQ-ing, or making pancakes don't count!
3. Put ponytails in a 4-year-old's hair.
4. Help same 4-year-old put on leotards/tights.
I can't think of any others right now, but there's probably more...

Having kids brings the parents a whole new skillset....maybe, rather than trying to make separate lists for males and females, we simply write a training manual for having and raising kids....now won't that be fun....... ;D

I'm not allowed to do household laundry any more...
People assume, oh, you're in the army, you must know how to do laundry..
"Of course I do, how silly do you think I am?"
"Great, don't forget to seperate the delicatess..."
"Sep... er... ate?"

Yeah, I don't know what some people's problem is.....why would you separate the clothes.....that's discrimination and sexist....the water is the same, the soap is the same, ergo.....they all go into the same wash together. Causes closeness.... ;DJust a Sig Op said:
