I figured a close stereotype for men, would be that they should all be farmers. The thing is, there are under two million farmers in the US as of 2023. So statistically, an equivalent occupation/role should have a larger number.

    If you have a penis, you should be able to use tools competently and perform basic maintenance and repairs.

    I don’t think a penis is required. I personally think that every human being should know basic maintenance and repair skills.

      No penis is really required.

      But the beard is mandatory.

        As a woman, I will say that I consider myself blessed that i found a man that not only had basic electrical, mechanical, and plumbing knowledge; but also was willing to share that knowledge with me. Now I can do basic handyman stuff.

          I moved into a house where a person with “basic electrical skills” lived and there are so many fire hazards and death traps. I wish electrical assistance was cheaper so people doesn’t mess with that. It was an old partner to the person I moved in with and she was upset that I hired an electrician to redo quite alot[

          Not anything against your skills, the phrase just reminded me of my former home :P

            Agreed, and any major work is done by a licensed electrician, but replacing an outlet or switch is completely doable with training and safety measures.
