I'm not surprised.

I went as far as to teach my son how to use tire irons and replace tires in the driveway.

I can change a tire but just about every time I’ve needed to, a man has stopped to help. Which means he takes over, and I offer him some baby wipes when he’s done.

This is a thank you to you men out there.

Shooting pretty much comes right after breathing on the list of things to master.

After that, pretty much whatever you do, learn to do it well. Learn also how to maintain your tools and machines.

They last longer that way, and your not beholden to others for taking care of your...stuff.

Not a skill, but every man ought to know that he should buy quality tools, not cheap tools. Don't skimp when it comes to tools.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.”

Robert Heinlein pretty much covers it here. I’d say ‘act alone’ covers the tire thing...

Personally, I’m still working on ‘conn a ship’ and ‘die gallantly’. Haven’t mastered either of those yet. The rest is done.

The wimpification of America is on display. Males are taught to be females, the females are taught to be males. "They say that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter." Isaiah 5:20.
