Chicks paddle canoes too… come on Popular Mechanics.

Title of current Popular Mechanics article: “25 Skills Every Man Should Know: Your Ultimate DIY Guide“.

I’d really love to understand what the editors over at Popular Mechanics think is particularly gender-specific about patching a radiator hose, protecting a computer, sharpening a knife, paddling a canoe, backing up data, etc.

For the record, I’m not saying that women and men can’t have their own articles, lists or DIY guides. Absolutely not and to prove it, here are a few gender-specific suggestions for future Popular Mechanics features:

• Over the Fence or Through the Gate: A man’s guide to modern underwear ergonomics
• Because You Don’t Bleed Blue: Feminine tech coming soon to a vagina near you
• The Future of Gender-Specific Medicine: More than just boobs and tubes

Bring it on!
