Stupid Little Girls

I am so sick and tired of being treated like an idiot because I'm a girl.

Things like old men trying to explain to me how a heater works, because it took them awhile to figure it out, obviously a girl would never understand.

So... you turn the dial to "ON" and set the fan speed to 1, 2, or 3? I don't get it, can you repeat it slower?

Oh, so you hit the hammer with the nail? Oh, oh, other way around. Stupid, silly, pretty me.

I just want to SCREAM. I know it, I'm smarter than you. I rebuilt my house almost entirely on my own. I can figure out the fucking fan.

No I'm not going to be stuck in three inches of snow; I know how to put my car in 4x4.
No my keys aren't too heavy for my ignition; they are not going to make my steering wheel fall off.

Guess what: I can (and have) changed a tire before. Once in high heels. I can use a nail gun, I can use a power saw, and I can use a drill, a hammer, a screw driver, a fucking flashlight.

I can sand, I can paint, I can empty a mouse trap, I can fish a dead bat out of the toilet. I can start a fire, I can drive a manual transmission, and if I don't know how to do something I can figure it out, ON MY OWN.

Just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I can't do it. In fact it means I can do it, better than you, faster than you, and right the first time.

SO STOP TELLING ME HOW TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT!!!!!!!
