1. Change a Light Bulb

Okay, so this may seem silly, but you’d be surprised how many women cannot perform basic household repairs. A woman should have a basic tool set, a drill, a hammer and a wrench – and learn how to use them safely and properly. There is no reason you should have to call your landlord or your boyfriend to come over to hang a picture, change your air conditioner filter or make minor fixes like touching up paint. They even have tool sets made just for women – in the color pink! Take a free class at your local Home Depot or Lowes home improvement store and learn to hook your own crib up!

    d*ck breath? wow….you’d know, since you have d*ck breath with your filthy mouth. And clearly YOU ARE thinking of me, otherwise you wouldn’t have responded – so I guess you really DON’T have a life.

    wrong. YMCA CHARGESfor cpr classes, they are not free.

    Women need to learn how to drive?!! Really?!! The majority of the time when I’m driving I’m being tailgated by a guy in a big truck or almost getting hit by some douche bag that’s in a hurry to probably get nowhere important. I have NOT been in one accident and I’ve been driving a very long time. DO NOT tell me women CANT drive. I’m LIVING PROOF!!

  • woman of my time

    I am highly perturbed, vexed, incensed, irritated, bothered, offended…& any other qualifier one can come up…with all these list dictating what a woman should or should not do. Most of which are intended for us to attract a man. As a strong educated & professional woman, who stands under the cloak of feminism, I do not need this list or any other to dictate my worth or the depth of my womanhood.

    • Shaundra

      My sentiments exactly!!!!

    • Courtney

      How does learning a language, CPR, how to swim and doing taxes help you get a man? You’re highly perturbed, vexed, incensed, irritated, bothered and offended for no reason. If you are strong and educated, you’d see this list is to help women for THEMSELVES, not to get a man. Get a clue.

    Changing a light bulb???? SERIOUSLY?????

  • ElvisWasAHero2Most

    Shhh ieeeet, I can’t do half of these things and I have both X and Y chromosomes.

    I like how you say learn to speak a foreign language like it’s something that you can just pick up at the grocery store. I had six years of a foreign language and it was a lot of work and I am nowhere near fluent in it. Not everyone can just pick up a language. A person would be beter of being able to speak and write properly in their native tongue.

    • Courtney

      I don’t think the author wants you to be fluent, just able to learn enough to get around and be self sufficient if need be. Speaking and writing in your native tongue should be achieved by 6th grade, so no real fete there. Foreign countries are running circles around us because they mandate their children start learning another language early on, why we make everyone “learn English.” We don’t aim high enough if you ask me – speaking and writing in your native tongue well is elementary to me – and if it’s not to most, it SHOULD be.

    This list sucks. While most women are working hard in their careers, or doing it up at school, or balancing their children’s lives, some idiots are going to be taking this seriously learning how to drive and change light bulbs. What an insult.

    • Courtney

      yeah, because learning how to drive is for “dummies.” Get a life. And if those were the only 2 things on the list, I can see why you’d be insulted…but give me a break. I think ALL people should be able to swim, know CPR (in case you had to SAVE one of your children whose lives your balancing), etc. And you’re an idiot if you’re working hard and doing it up in school and don’t know how to balance a checkbook or order your credit report.

  • Injynqbs

    Dangit I do not know CPR!..Something I’ve thought about but never done. Maybe I’ll take that w/ another swim class this summer… ;o lol

  • Korey

    What about ride a bike? I don’t know how to…

  • Mizzliyah9115

    YOU GUYS!!! She’s only giving the basics! I don’t think she needs to spell out every little tiny detail right?? RELAX!! This is meant to be an eye opener and make you think of how you can be more self sufficient instead of depending on anyone to do anything for you. (including AAA)

  • NikkitaMichelle

    I’m not trying to put us back 50 years, but why isn’t cook on this list?  You have swimming and lightbulb changing on this list, but a woman shouldn’t know how to feed herself and family at home?

       maybe cause thats something that many would automatically think of when they first hear of ‘things they should know how to do…’ list pssh honestly im going to  watch a lot of cooking shows on how to make 30 min meals… *kanye shrug*
