I am an Independent Boomer Woman

But today I felt Inferior...Let me explai

We have babies.
We live longer than men on average.
We work.
We are the supreme organizers and multi-taskers.
We receive a monthly visit from our "friend".

And so on… no need to enumerate.

Please don’t be insulted when I say this, but why is it, that female race as a whole, does not know how to treat flat tires? Change a tire? Or even know if we have a spare tire? And I am not talking about our mid-section!

True story… today I was driving on a main thorofare and witnessed a woman driving on a flat tire. She continued to weave in and out of traffic, was driving full speed ahead and was burning rubber behind her!

Does she not know:

1)what may have been a quick patch job or plug costing perhaps pennies has more than likely turned into an expensive event?

2)She may have just ruined her wheel rim which is expensive to replace?

3)She puts other people at risk by driving with the traffic with a tire that may start to shred?

I was shocked to see the ignorance of this women driving, burning rubber and not responding as she should have.

I was recently speaking to a teenage girl who just got her license and she DID NOT know that she had a spare tire in her car, let alone where it was!

I must admit- I am guilty of not knowing how to change a tire. (I DO know, however, that you pull off the road when you have a flat, and I DO know there is a spare in the trunk.
We are strong, smart, intuitive and so much more. So why are we lacking such information? No matter the age, we cannot always have a man around to help us.

Sorry ladies… our men cannot do it all for us!
Many of us Baby Boomer parents have children who are just learning how to drive or who have just gotten their license. Why not teach not only the guys, but the girls as well, on how to do some of these important tasks?

So for all you wonderful fathers, husbands, and boyfriends out there, PLEASE teach your daughter, wife, girlfriend, mother, friend, etc. how to a change tire, where the spare is and what to do in case of a flat~

Just sayin’...
