There are evil and bitter people of both sexes. The stepfather who sexually abuses his teen stepdaughter is no more representative than the bitter divorcee, who places her bitterness above the welfare of her child. It’s true people often use their children to seek revenge on the other parent, there are numerous cases of men injuring their own children to get some sick measure of revenge against their mother.

I just don’t get all that upset when my wife plays spoiled automotive idiot, a role she has trained for for decades. She was a good mother and is a good grandmother and a wonderful companion, I won’t trade her for anyone. If I had played my hand differently, she might have been a bitter divorcee, a poor companion and an indifferent grandmother. It takes two. Sometimes you need to swallow your ego and love her despite bitter words or disappointments.

Ok, seriously - God did make us different in the head.
We are not mechanically minded.
Don't think training and education are going to change this regardless of what men wish. There are so many things that women are able to manage for themselves, master (in ab sense of a man) but this really is not one for the most part.

Would we like to “master” auto mechanics and have control of this issue in our lives? Yes - but - most of our brains can't go there — and it sucks big time to know some shyster at the dealership may be taking advantage to make a buck and lying - so women unfortunately need men in this regards, whether it be fathers, brothers, guy neighbors or spouses.

Why you all resent it is the question you - you guys have to answer — I think.

That some thing women are playing “spoiled automotive idiot” is interesting — psychologically speaking - I would say men who have issues with women in this regard are - shall we say - screwed up contentious little bums perhaps with issues re women - so stay as far away from them as possible (warning to women).

The Lord said men are to love their wives like Christ loved the Church and gave His life for it - real servant attitude there required - and her desire to serve her husband, men in her life will follow. Men setting example, leading with their example.

I agree about bitter divorcees, that said, the bitter mind poisoning mother(s) far outweighs (in number of occurrences) the evil stepfather. The damage done to boys raised by whacko mothers is irreversible and has a significant impact on our society. I see it ever day in employees. Almost every young man I interview for a good paying job has a mother complex and thinks they should be chastised for anything. It is down right scary how many I find. I see Obama in many of them, the NPD is out of control.
