I know how to do all of those things myself, though I take the car to a mechanic once I've identified whether the noise is a problem or not. Therefore, Tibs and I have been training to be teammates. It's working out pretty well, though I'm still the primary kitchen dweller and he's the tech guy. We play to our strengths.
In response to the OP, women do need men, but only if they're the sort of women who want men. The human race needs men for obvious reasons. Women have to take their need on a case-by-case basis.
We're pushing 70, Shel. She's not going to change, now.
