The author obviously intended this to be a light-hearted, humorous article but it's funny to see all the insecure males out there freak out over the prospect of a woman mastering the chain saw. Like they won't be needed around anymore because their woman has figured out the choke and oh-so-complex chore of replacing a spark plug on a power tool.
I bet these same men are hopeless in a kitchen and operate under the delusion that their inability to fry up an omelette or bake a loaf of bread makes them more "manly."
