Man Up: 11 Typically Masculine Things that Every Woman Should Know How to Do

1.  Car maintenance.

So we’ve already been unfairly labeled as bad drivers (Uh, what about Danica Patrick?), so it’s important that we know a little something about what happens when your car is making a funny sputtering noise or when it refuses to start at all.  Even though your 2011 Audi A6 may be the baddest thing to pull up to any brother’s bumper, there’s nothing sexier than a woman who knows what she’s working with under her hood and can troubleshoot when it’s slacking on the job.  You don’t have to know what an exhaust manifold does, but it is important to know how to avoid and manage situations that could put your safety at risk.

Actually read your car manual, know what the lights mean, know how to check your oil, and make sure to change it as needed.  Familiarize yourself with how to perform a jumpstart and travel with jumper cables and portable battery chargers.  Also try your hand at changing a flat tire a few times (and knowing where the spare is).  Most importantly, if you’re still not willing to get your hands a little dirty, make sure you always travel with emergency car repair funds and invest in a roadside service like AAA.
