the greatest skill a woman can learn for herself is self reliance
to clarify … so many strong women in my life rely on men. that dependence is dangerous. ladies here are some good ref resources I’ve found helpful on my journey towards self reliance
automobile
changing coolant
changing oil
changing tire
jumping a car
plumbing
toilet running
basement flooding
replace a faucet
clogged drain
electrical
replacing light switches
blew a fuse
installing overhead light
earth vs. neutral vs. live wires
home
patching drywall
finding studs
this list is in no way comprehensive feel free to add on
a lot of ‘man things’ are a lot easier than you think they are. especially considering the fact that most of these things when buying the parts come with directions on the packaging that men usually don’t even look at (and often end up doing it wrong because they were taught by fathers who also did not look at the packaging).
like i recently had to change my car battery and freaked out cause i thought id electrocute myself but turns out new batteries come with directions and its the easiest shit in the world so long as you can lift the damn thing.
so yeah, ladies dont ever feel like a man is a necessity for life, you can do this shit on your own its easier than you think!
YouTube also helps a lot when it comes to this stuff. Changing your car’s head and tail lights are the simplest things. Parts stores (I’m talking like autozone or pep boys and the like) will tell you/give you what lights you need if you give them the make/model/year of your car. And you can get a 2 pack for under $10
After that the change itself is just as easy. When I had to change the headlight bulbs on my truck I found a couple videos and did it in like 2 minutes. It may seem scary and you might be scared to mess it up, but I promise you that as long as it fits back together you did it right.
