I am another woman who would have no clue how to change a flat tire. That said, my boyfriend would have even less of a clue than me. When we are together, I am the one who does the "how things work" stuff - he just doesn't pay attention to detail enough to want to bother with it, or he's never been faced with a problem of that nature before and isn't interested in solving it. I usually end up phoning my dad to know how to fix things since Lake would rather hire someone to do it than do it himself.

As an archaeologist, I am studying in a field which for a long time was dominated by men. However, more and more women are studying archaeology. In fact, my professors (most of which are male) are wondering what an archaeological excavation will look like in 10 years. They worry because there will be less and less men to carry buckets and do the heavy lifting, which is a big part of the work. I admit that in general, the average women are not as physically strong as the average men, and that my professors may have a point.
