It helps them feel equal to men because they can't do those things
either. They probably can't cook, sew, knit, or plough either.

To be fair, I don't know that I could use a plough either. Cook, sew,
knit, darn and crochet, yes; plough, I've never tried.

I did see a woman making a real pig's ear of blacksmithing yesterday
though.

Some years ago, a friend of mine was working away and when he came back
he found that his girlfriend had bought some steel, formed some
scrollwork and welded up a new bedhead foot end.
