  He  h! Adomi,  you blamed to women very easily. Do you want to get a massive women protest?  I just know the way to give the meaning of man prestige.  Most men like to do mechanic work while womens body are weaker than men. So every woman proud of her husband who has sense of mechanic, it's a reality.   Every woman can do every machanic work if there is no man in this world,&amp;n</description></item><item><title>Re: Are men better mechanician?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AreMenBetterMechanician/2/clphp/Post.htm#227981</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:02:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:227981</guid><dc:creator>adomi</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AreMenBetterMechanician/2/clphp/Post.htm#227981</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments38-227981.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>You ladies are amazing...and people argue on women's intelligence???</description></item><item><title>Re: Are men better mechanician?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AreMenBetterMechanician/2/clphp/Post.htm#227911</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:02:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:227911</guid><dc:creator>Nyla</dc:creator><slash:comments>4</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AreMenBetterMechanician/2/clphp/Post.htm#227911</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments38-227911.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>I feel skill like anyone, male or female, can do the same things I can!

As we see, just for example when an electric tea pot or a radio is out of order,  women try to repair and test and get electtric short and shock, cry a lot and never touch again but men when they get shorted they do not cry and continue repair it. And for many thing, today my father and my brother open ceiling and repair leaking roof because very much rain this time, they climbed up to fill the holes. If my method is to use a bucket to keep water to use.</description></item><item><title>Re: Are men better mechanician?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AreMenBetterMechanician/2/clphp/Post.htm#226377</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:02:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:226377</guid><dc:creator>adomi</dc:creator><slash:comments>11</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AreMenBetterMechanician/2/clphp/Post.htm#226377</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments38-226377.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Does it mean girls are supposed to be better mechanicians ?
