Not to put too fine of a point on it, but how many car saleswomen have you seen? There is a very high chance she is going to need a man to sell her a car.
71 yo woman here. I have changed my own oil, swapped starters, put in fuel pumps, gapped spark plugs and I can also get my wiper fluid in the correct hole. BUT I am more than happy to state I need men for all sorts of thing including different points of view, challenging my bs and just generally to hang out with. Long live men! lol
Howdy hi hi, From a 53 YO man, I say cheers love. On the topic of the video however. Anyone singling out a particular group of people as unneeded. Is simply engaging in hatred. In this case using sexism, which is a tool that does two things for one end. It is used to both express, and inspire nothing more nor less than hatred. What can we do about this? Well first and foremost we can provide no safe space for hate. Which means at best actively challenging assertions that are clearly based in hatred. Reading them the riot act until the behavior stops. This is not always feasible for everyone. However, at a minimum, we can remove ourselves from the equation and deny them the privilege of our audience. As such, much like a falling tree in the middle of the forest with no one around to hear it. Without an audience, such expressions are nothing more than so much useless noise. I hope your day treats you well.
@@johnrsherwood She is rustling up cattle, butchering a steer, doing a little BBQ, then replacing the tile in the bathroom. After that she has some free time.
She’s making women look bad. I read my owner’s manual. I put in the wiper fluid. It’s easy. I can check my oil & add some if I need it. Simple requires a little reading
Same and like I was taught this by my driving instructor when I got my licence. Along with how to use a jack and change a tire and all of that. I hate when women like that are making the rest of us look like incompitent idiots that shouldn’t even be driving. It is especially infuriating because I am a taxi driver and listen to women like that and then was this one woman who said gas pumps as mysogenist because it hurts her delicate little hands to hold the pump, wtf! I am 5ft and petite stop your whining! This type of behaviour makes people think we want special treatment.
Comimg from someone who knows cars. You ladys are the exception, and i commend you for being able to do basic car maintenance . Though to be fair,,, a lot of the younger generation of men are among the idiocracy also doing this. Just because they are male DOESN'T mean they know how to do basic maintenance on cars. Though it should be part of the driver training course, and a must to pass to get a drivers license.
Careful, they will start thinking that you are a man and that they do not need you. I kid, of course. I wish all women were as competent as you, for their own sakes.
@@LongtrailsideMy dad made sure I knew the basics before I even learned to drive. And my husband taught me even more. Now I need to go find the repair manual for my '72 Chevy truck. The carburetor is giving me problems.
I'm a woman and I've always looked after my own cars. (Less so now due to arthritis.) I watched that bit and my first thought was "Is she putting wiper fluid in the crankcase?" which is of course exactly what she was doing. You don't need a man to look after your car, but you do need to not be stupid! They have little symbols on the caps now (older cars had labels) to tell you what fluid goes where. And a woman not reading the very fine manual?! That's something the men are suppose to do, not read the manual (although I know many that do).
As a guy, I read the tech ruins. That includes "how to program in assembly language" and "how to fix a car" and "Nuclei and Particle Physics" and "How One of you can keep the Two of You together." I've had better success with things than women. Sigh.
Yeah, I'm always puzzled by the stereotype that men don't ask for directions or read the manual, when most I know do. 🤷♂️ Maybe it's a generational thing? (I'm Gen-X, not a Boomer)
Most people don’t read the manual, but I do. I’ve done engine overhauls, brakes, all sorts of car work, but I always learn something new from the owners manual. My wife reads it too, I don’t want her to be helpless if something happens and I’m not there.

The ironic part is that inevitably the women who have that attitude often end up needing a man the most. Mainly because that attitude prevents them from asking and learning how to do stuff like that from the men around them, so they do stupid things like that.

Failure to do so, which results in the offspring committing an act so stupid as to bring shame upon the man and his family shall require an immediate repentance to any and all men whom have to help the offspring as a direct result of said stupid act. Furthermore said man will be forced to wear a skirt for 6 months." Additionally, I would like to point out the Articles Of Responsibility, amendment 2, "You are responsible for what you put into this world." This, when combined with the previously mentioned man-code violation makes this a most egregious situation that requires the immediate attention of the full man council.

That is not the minimum. That is a downright failure.

I've had a Chilton's for every vehicle I've ever owned.. my father, who is a large diesel engine mechanic (along with knowing all other vehicles and engines) taught me how to work on cars (and trucks), and got me my first Chilton's manual. I already had my own tool by then, because he'd been making me help him for years by then... Then he told me to get an office job... he didn't want me being a mechanic like him but to have a better and easier job... so I did that... and I still know how to take care of and fix my vehicles and I still get the Chilton's book for each one...
First car my dad got me an owners manual. Showed where everything was in the book and under the hood. Taught me how to check and change the oil and filter, the brake fluid, radiator, battery, windshield fluid, carburetor filter and spark plugs. Set me up a schedule to check every month, how to change a flat. All before he let me take it back out of his driveway to go home. Helped me know how to look for and maintain my car for years. Now a senior citizen and everything is computerized so care keeps track and tells me. Not much I can do now with my mobility and arthritis problems but I can call my son in law for minor things like tire air and brake fluidor go to the mechanic for computer things and oil changes. Tow trucks are a part of life as I can’t physically change a tire anymore.
This hurt my brain. Also made me think of my ex son in law putting oil in his car through the lipstick tube until I taught him otherwise. It's not only women of Gen Z who weren't taught proper car maintenance.
This is exactly why I sit and watch. She doesn’t need a man and would get angry if a man tried to correct her about what she is doing. I have truly come to believe that experience is the best teacher. Our mistakes make us stronger.
As a guy, I learned auto repair from the Idiot's guide to Volkswagen Repair, while going to junior collage. Learned adjusting the valves when cold. Replacing points and plugs. Learned oil changes. Learned how to remove and replace the engine. Starter motor? Read the manual, get tools, lift and separate {the car from the ground), feel in the blind behind for the bolts, remove the wires, replace is the reverse. While dating my wife, I blew a piston outside Casa Grande, Arizona, five hundred miles from home. (It's sixty miles from Gila Bend.) Had my VW camper van towed to town and dropped it in the gravel parking lot of a parts store. Pulled the engine, replaced the piston, put the engine back, and continued on to home. She was parked in the air-conditioned hotel room. No, ladies, you don't need a man. But when there's a spider, or there's a noise downstairs in the dark, or when greasy or dirty or dangerous stuff needs doing, you're going to want someone to do the deed. Electrical? Check. Plumbing? Check. Defense? Check. Financial support? Check. Y'all don't need it, but it's nice to have... So, having lived in the home a guy bought and paid for and repaired, having gone shopping for food with the money he provided, now you want to divorce him and take half of everything? Nah. It's men who don't need women. The risk is too high. So, are you gonna sign that prenup? No? Then we don't need you. The one who doesn't wanna sign the prenup, that's the person in need.
0ne of the first things I was ever taught was how to change my tires, check my fluids and replace them if needed. As a Gen X female I'm pretty much thinking as typical of her Generation she is making all women look bad.
Generally I am opposed to increasing taxes, but in the case of "The Stupid Tax" I firmly believe it needs to be set at a point where people must reevaluate things and decide if they want to continue paying "The Stupid Tax" or continue their subscription to life, yes it SHOULD BE that expensive!
This hits home (in a way) where I live. Most people still drive manuals. I recently got an automatic suv (never drove an automatic before till last week). My new car did not come with an owners manual. Anyways it has tow dipsticks and i being oh so wise say the black one and pulled it to check my oil and was glad to see it full and pink. So i went to an Oriley's cause my car was making a wierd noise. Well, it turns out my car was low on oil, and the pink fluid is called transmission fluid. 😅 I did not care that it was a man that told me. He was very polite. And asked me if it was my first car or if i had ever driven an automatic car before. It never hurts to ask questions and it shouldn't matter if it is a man or woman. The thing that matters is you don't destroy your car.
I don't think cars come with manuals anymore. I could be, and often am wrong. But I think it's now a file in the infotainment system, or possibly a file you can download from the manufacturer. They basically became useless anyway, just a list of warnings and telling you to contact the dealer with any questions.
The cap to the oil has a pictogram of an oil can on it, what did she think that was? She doesn't need a man but she will need a taxi, which will probably be driven by a man.
As a woman can't say I don't need a man they have strength and knowledge I can't own up too. Just scared of them is all. I was a battered woman men just scares me . At mechanic shops I have my cousin's talk to them. I fear for me and my daughters all the time when men even introduce themselves. Not all men's the same I get that just not ready to trust when I haven't healed completely yet.
During college in Austin back in the early 80s, I was at a gas station when I saw a woman under the hood of her car, which was obviously overheating. To my disbelief, she leaned her face right over top of the radiator cap and reached to unscrew it. Thankfully, I was able to stop her in time. After I explained, she was reasonably grateful to still have an intact face. 😳😅
Not arguing with the basics, but unfortunately Chilton/Haynes manuals are covering less these days. I just looked for one to cover my 2018, the latest model year for my car they cover is 2012. As for the "tan, thick fluid", have you seen the 0 weight their specifying for new cars? That stuffs thin enough I sometimes wonder if water would be a viable alternative.
I know very little about cars. I do tend to rely on my husband who knows quite a bit about them. And even I know you don’t put that there!!!! Ok… maybe it’s just the cars that I’ve owned, but most things are labeled. The dohicky you unscrew, the caps or whatever they’re called, one is labeled oil, one is labeled wiper fluid, and so on and so forth. Also, the containers of oil and other fluids, are also labeled. You almost have to work at it to mess up this bad.
I get laughed at every time I tell ppl that my dad made me show him how to check & fill every fluid; check, air up tires & put the spare on; and read a map properly B4 he let me drive. He was a commercial truck driver & saw women in trouble & at the mercy of strangers all the time. I was not to be a "helpless female."
Same here! And my family, extended family, & family by choice all felt the same way. They all know knowledge is power regardless of gender. We're laughing now lol
Maybe the owner's manual DID tell you those things at one time, like how to adjust the timing or change your spark plugs and what the correct gap should be. Now however, they tell you not to drink the battery fluid.
😳She was putting washer fluid into the oil tank. Women who do not know anything should not be doing anything. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a female and even I know that and I am not that stupid to make that dumb of a mistake.
The amount of things she ignored to make that decision (including the cap saying "Oil") is astonishing. She doesn't need a man or a car, she needs a helmet to protect what precious little is left up there.
Sad part is that even if she did put oil in the right place, she probably would have filled it up to the top. A *man* a.k.a. Dad told me you don't fill the oil all the way to the top. Because the oil will get hot expand and blow gaskets or something. Does not matter, my dad told me not to do it and that was good enough for me.
I offered to help a female college student at U of IL w her oil once. She said I was being chauvinistic and she was fine She was pouring a quart of oil in THE DIPSTICK TUBE after checking it I mean I helped my dad restore classic cars so it was more of an experience thing not chromosomal but hey. I let her waste half her quart on the valve cover and exhaust manifold
Yeah, I’m just a girl too, & cringed as I saw her pour windshield wiper fluid, or coolant where the oil goes. Yeesh. I’m a pretty independent XGen female, but I know the diff between where my oil goes, my coolant, my brake fluid, & my windshield wiper fluid. I can at least check my oil, fill it, change a tire & a battery. I mean, she was all kinds of confident which means she didn’t even check the manual.. or the Internet. I’ve no problem saying I need a man’s assistance, if he can do something I can’t bc I’m not strong enough, or lack the skills he has.. like being a mechanic 😂. Yes I know we have female mechanics, but it’s rare. What I also know, is that this young woman is one.
As a woman I'm appalled that one of the members of my gender did such a thing. I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I can do my own general maintenance good grief alive
She passed the point where she needed a man. That ship sailed. Now she needs a new car😢
Not to put too fine of a point on it, but how many car saleswomen have you seen? There is a very high chance she is going to need a man to sell her a car.

I've had a Chilton's for every vehicle I've ever owned.. my father, who is a large diesel engine mechanic (along with knowing all other vehicles and engines) taught me how to work on cars (and trucks), and got me my first Chilton's manual. I already had my own tool by then, because he'd been making me help him for years by then... Then he told me to get an office job... he didn't want me being a mechanic like him but to have a better and easier job... so I did that... and I still know how to take care of and fix my vehicles and I still get the Chilton's book for each one...
Stupid is as stupid does.

We all have our moments but you can’t fix stupid no matter how hard you try
Well... you CAN fix stupid... but it'll hurt.
@@epleprekahn and how do you do that?
@@user-fl9te5ur2n 🤷♂️
I just need longer dipstick to find my oil.
Did....? Did....? Did she just pour windshield washer fluid in the engine?
In the oil tank.
@@TPRM1holy crap that's even worse!!!
First car my dad got me an owners manual. Showed where everything was in the book and under the hood. Taught me how to check and change the oil and filter, the brake fluid, radiator, battery, windshield fluid, carburetor filter and spark plugs. Set me up a schedule to check every month, how to change a flat. All before he let me take it back out of his driveway to go home. Helped me know how to look for and maintain my car for years. Now a senior citizen and everything is computerized so care keeps track and tells me. Not much I can do now with my mobility and arthritis problems but I can call my son in law for minor things like tire air and brake fluidor go to the mechanic for computer things and oil changes. Tow trucks are a part of life as I can’t physically change a tire anymore.
The cap even says oil on it.
Written and designed by a man, so it is mysoggknee's therefore ignored.
Not if it's upside down. Then it's the 710 cap. 😂
This hurt my brain. Also made me think of my ex son in law putting oil in his car through the lipstick tube until I taught him otherwise.
It's not only women of Gen Z who weren't taught proper car maintenance.
This is exactly why I sit and watch. She doesn’t need a man and would get angry if a man tried to correct her about what she is doing. I have truly come to believe that experience is the best teacher. Our mistakes make us stronger.
My 10 year old son just called it without help as well, so maybe they just need a boy.
🙋🏼♀️ I need men in my life. Men and women are meant to balance each other.
Word.
As a guy, I learned auto repair from the Idiot's guide to Volkswagen Repair, while going to junior collage. Learned adjusting the valves when cold. Replacing points and plugs. Learned oil changes. Learned how to remove and replace the engine. Starter motor? Read the manual, get tools, lift and separate {the car from the ground), feel in the blind behind for the bolts, remove the wires, replace is the reverse.
While dating my wife, I blew a piston outside Casa Grande, Arizona, five hundred miles from home. (It's sixty miles from Gila Bend.) Had my VW camper van towed to town and dropped it in the gravel parking lot of a parts store. Pulled the engine, replaced the piston, put the engine back, and continued on to home. She was parked in the air-conditioned hotel room.
No, ladies, you don't need a man. But when there's a spider, or there's a noise downstairs in the dark, or when greasy or dirty or dangerous stuff needs doing, you're going to want someone to do the deed.
Electrical? Check.
Plumbing? Check.
Defense? Check.
Financial support? Check.
Y'all don't need it, but it's nice to have...
So, having lived in the home a guy bought and paid for and repaired, having gone shopping for food with the money he provided, now you want to divorce him and take half of everything? Nah. It's men who don't need women. The risk is too high.
So, are you gonna sign that prenup? No? Then we don't need you. The one who doesn't wanna sign the prenup, that's the person in need.
Same book got me a job as a mechanic specializing in air cooled VW's. Best $25 I ever spent. It made/ saved me well over 6 figures at this point.
Whatever you do guys don’t mansplain ‘em. Let them feel it on their own.
0ne of the first things I was ever taught was how to change my tires, check my fluids and replace them if needed.
As a Gen X female I'm pretty much thinking as typical of her Generation she is making all women look bad.
The old wiper fluid in the oil trick
Gets them every time 😂
She smart she know what she doing. Bravo lady bravo
I'm no car mechanik... I go to the garage for oil changes and so forth. But that was gold.
Generally I am opposed to increasing taxes, but in the case of "The Stupid Tax" I firmly believe it needs to be set at a point where people must reevaluate things and decide if they want to continue paying "The Stupid Tax" or continue their subscription to life, yes it SHOULD BE that expensive!
How about just looking at the 710 cap? That's not 710 fluid!🤣
The blue stuff. Nailed it.
Gotta check the muffler bearings.
This hits home (in a way) where I live. Most people still drive manuals. I recently got an automatic suv (never drove an automatic before till last week). My new car did not come with an owners manual.
Anyways it has tow dipsticks and i being oh so wise say the black one and pulled it to check my oil and was glad to see it full and pink.
So i went to an Oriley's cause my car was making a wierd noise. Well, it turns out my car was low on oil, and the pink fluid is called transmission fluid. 😅
I did not care that it was a man that told me. He was very polite.
And asked me if it was my first car or if i had ever driven an automatic car before.
It never hurts to ask questions and it shouldn't matter if it is a man or woman. The thing that matters is you don't destroy your car.
Men , Don't help them let them struggle🤣
😂😂😂 we are never needed...until we're needed
And the funny thing is, most cars have it labeled what goes in certain reservoirs.
She ain’t got time to be interpreting pictures, she’s strong and independent and don’t need no man.
Youre right. You don't need a man, but...
Fixed it.
Did she just put washer fluid in the oil!?! What did I just witness??!!?? Rewatching….
She doesn’t need a man. She needs a damn book! Lol😂
I don't think cars come with manuals anymore. I could be, and often am wrong. But I think it's now a file in the infotainment system, or possibly a file you can download from the manufacturer. They basically became useless anyway, just a list of warnings and telling you to contact the dealer with any questions.
As a former mechanic, that was painful to watch. Because I know how much work that’s going to take to set that right
OMG!
Pride goeth before a fall.
Reminds me of The Wizard of Oz - "If I only had a brain."
Alternatively is the haynes manual, but that's about personal preference.
The cap to the oil has a pictogram of an oil can on it, what did she think that was? She doesn't need a man but she will need a taxi, which will probably be driven by a man.
I’m watching this in horror(as she pours), while thinking of the noises the engine will make in 2-3minutes of starting😂😂😂😂😂
That’s the best one yet!😅
Imagine how many mechanics must fix "don't need no man" problems.
😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉 congratulations to the women!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gotta give her credit for something, she is just as smart as all the others who think like her 😂😂😂😂😂
She doesn't need a man, she needs a nanny.
I can honestly say that my girls know car basics. They can even change their own oil thx to pops 😊
As a woman can't say I don't need a man they have strength and knowledge I can't own up too. Just scared of them is all. I was a battered woman men just scares me . At mechanic shops I have my cousin's talk to them. I fear for me and my daughters all the time when men even introduce themselves. Not all men's the same I get that just not ready to trust when I haven't healed completely yet.
During college in Austin back in the early 80s, I was at a gas station when I saw a woman under the hood of her car, which was obviously overheating. To my disbelief, she leaned her face right over top of the radiator cap and reached to unscrew it. Thankfully, I was able to stop her in time. After I explained, she was reasonably grateful to still have an intact face. 😳😅
Not arguing with the basics, but unfortunately Chilton/Haynes manuals are covering less these days. I just looked for one to cover my 2018, the latest model year for my car they cover is 2012. As for the "tan, thick fluid", have you seen the 0 weight their specifying for new cars? That stuffs thin enough I sometimes wonder if water would be a viable alternative.
I know very little about cars. I do tend to rely on my husband who knows quite a bit about them. And even I know you don’t put that there!!!! Ok… maybe it’s just the cars that I’ve owned, but most things are labeled. The dohicky you unscrew, the caps or whatever they’re called, one is labeled oil, one is labeled wiper fluid, and so on and so forth. Also, the containers of oil and other fluids, are also labeled. You almost have to work at it to mess up this bad.
I get laughed at every time I tell ppl that my dad made me show him how to check & fill every fluid; check, air up tires & put the spare on; and read a map properly B4 he let me drive. He was a commercial truck driver & saw women in trouble & at the mercy of strangers all the time. I was not to be a "helpless female."
Same here! And my family, extended family, & family by choice all felt the same way. They all know knowledge is power regardless of gender. We're laughing now lol
Maybe the owner's manual DID tell you those things at one time, like how to adjust the timing or change your spark plugs and what the correct gap should be. Now however, they tell you not to drink the battery fluid.
😳She was putting washer fluid into the oil tank. Women who do not know anything should not be doing anything. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a female and even I know that and I am not that stupid to make that dumb of a mistake.
The amount of things she ignored to make that decision (including the cap saying "Oil") is astonishing. She doesn't need a man or a car, she needs a helmet to protect what precious little is left up there.
On the next episode of "Just Rolled In"...
That was just so painful to watch.
Ah yes, an example of Schrodinger’s feminist
I bet bear knows where the blue fluid goes!
Sad part is that even if she did put oil in the right place, she probably would have filled it up to the top. A *man* a.k.a. Dad told me you don't fill the oil all the way to the top. Because the oil will get hot expand and blow gaskets or something. Does not matter, my dad told me not to do it and that was good enough for me.
No, the blue fluid goes to refill the blinkers.
Did she just put windshield wiper fluid in the engine??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not sure I am seeing this right. Is she added water/antifreeze into the engine, ie where she she be adding oil?
Or even look at the cap it will should tell you if it is the oil or the wiper fluid, either with symbols or actual letters.
I offered to help a female college student at U of IL w her oil once. She said I was being chauvinistic and she was fine
She was pouring a quart of oil in THE DIPSTICK TUBE after checking it
I mean I helped my dad restore classic cars so it was more of an experience thing not chromosomal but hey. I let her waste half her quart on the valve cover and exhaust manifold
She’s a sharp one.
Yeah, I’m just a girl too, & cringed as I saw her pour windshield wiper fluid, or coolant where the oil goes. Yeesh.
I’m a pretty independent XGen female, but I know the diff between where my oil goes, my coolant, my brake fluid, & my windshield wiper fluid.
I can at least check my oil, fill it, change a tire & a battery. I mean, she was all kinds of confident which means she didn’t even check the manual.. or the Internet.
I’ve no problem saying I need a man’s assistance, if he can do something I can’t bc I’m not strong enough, or lack the skills he has.. like being a mechanic 😂.
Yes I know we have female mechanics, but it’s rare. What I also know, is that this young woman is one.
As a man who doesn't know jack about cars because I learned computers instead, even I winched seeing what she was doing to her car.
Women: don't need men
Also women: hydrolocks engine.
If she thinks she doesn't need a man in her life, what does she think she was conceived with? Just an egg??
Car probably needs some muffler bearings as well, and she should check her Tr double E valve while she's at it.
As a woman I'm appalled that one of the members of my gender did such a thing. I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I can do my own general maintenance good grief alive
Nice day for a walk
Who needs a cure for arrogance?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Shouldn’t it be “we don’t need women “? Stay strong brothers! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
