It felt good when I did my first solder job. I felt manly, a studly stud. It was a complete bath remodel. I left the walls open for 1 week to make sure there were no leaks. Now I’m confident in my work. I have moved washer dryer,… lots of things.
So there is something to a man doing mechanical stuff. I admire women who can do stuff.[/quote]
I think some of the ‘studly’ stud feeling comes from self sufficiency, other part may come from taking somethings solid, making part of it liquid and joining things together – then it becomes one solid thing that does something. Maybe a bit of ‘creating’?
Not enough women try to do these things. Possible reasons may be; people discourage them, not willing to try and take a risk – fail then learn, conditioning – through media and other sources..
