Test for women: what's this for?

I dunno .. what's that?

(I'm considering myself a woman these days)

I know it's not a Flush mount Drill bit System.

It doesn't resemble a counter sink.

Looks like some kind of drill bit.

A reamer ?

Ken, it looks like something I will never use myself in my lifetime.

But hope that some kind man will use for me if through need ever occurs

A modified pneumatic drill?...

I'm sure many men would not know what it is either.

I showed this picture to my neighbor guy and he read what it said and told me what it is but I'm not spilling the beans.

I don't see any writing on it, apart from the date

Molly the writing is not on the picture of the tool obviously.

It is what Ken wrote above the picture.

Well I gave you the name because my ex used to have one...A REAMER

That didn't help me much

A tree some

No clue, no care

Three=3 !not tree!

Jaysus Seri, I'd hate to go to your dungeon

Calm, I've said that before, and was told that was all there was

Calm maybe some men's tools are smaller than others.

Maybe it's an industrial strength nut cracker

Molly

Molly,
my dungeon is bright and shiny





Mic...

I could tell you then I would have to kill you...

Have made numerous myself
Lets just say they insure each hole is ...?

What a terrible world it would be if they all were of .... /.....
heh heh.

I interpret the lack of a good answer as an indicator of just how disconnected a lot of the women here are from the things that actually make the world tick. I know in some cases it is the result of a cultural view that their little minds couldn't handle knowing how things work or are made, so no one taught them. However, although that explains the young ones not knowing, but in the case of the women over 40 such an ignorance displays a lack of desire to self improve, as they are old enough to have realized they were left out of certain loops when growing up but wrongly decided it didn't matter.

I confess to being a little shocked. We have several women here who speak of farm life or owning properties and businesses. Gosh, I have even seen some profiles that speak of being sheet metal workers, mechanics and machinists. I could understand the women who state they sell cosmetics, or work as cooks or nannies, and understand their lack of exposure. But from the women who claim occupations in which dirt gets under fingernails or hot metal sprinkles down the back of the neck I question their utility. Faced with such ignorance, I can only say, really? LoL

IMO such ignorance also speaks to why they are still unmarried at 40 and 50+. I knew I had found my future wife the day I learned she had rebuilt the carbertor of her dad's old 1950s pickup truck herself. Such a wife is and was useful. Much better than pretty but functionally useless ones I had previously dated Trust me, a woman who knows of such doo-hickeys jumps right to the front of the eligibilty line and is way better from a male perspective than one who can prattle off the names of Brad Pitt's girlfriends or who was in which rock band.

Male advantage. Anything manufactured a woman puts a picture up of, some man knows what it is, because the odds are a man or a company owned by a man is where it was made. LoL

I would perhaps make a statement about gender equality, except I do know some women who do know what something like this is, and who like Blue and me make or buy their own now and then. Gosh, what a shame such women aren't easily found on CS.

I hope you live inland, Ken



Lifeboat- Maria Beasely

Or are not in the police






Kevlar - Stephanie Kwolek

I do believe condescension was invented by men though

So far Diova has come closest. Not correct, but close.

Sorry Molly - Kevlar is a form of Nylon. Both types, 29 and 49. Credit for inventing Nylon goes to a male, Wallace Carothers. Lifeboats? LoL, no. Maybe the woman you name somehow claims credit for the word itself, but actually they have been around since Men took to sea, back when having women on a boat was considered to be a prelude to disaster and folks had to pay extra tariff to get a boat crew to allow a woman on board. Back in days of yore they called them a dinghy or a raft. Inflatable rafts became common just before WW2, but I think since several countries had different adaptations of the new rubberized fabrics in the same year, it would be hard to say any specific person had the idea first. For what it is worth, William Wouldhave, a male and or Lionel Lukin, also male, is who Wiki credits with inventing the term lifeboat, both back in the 18th century. Noted that in 1802 England's Parliment credited Henry Greathead, another male, with inventing the lifeboat.

KNenagh - I stumble over which one you mean.. One grew pregnant with our twins, but aborted them on a whim and announced the intent to do that only after it was done, so of course I won't talk to her anymore and block her phone. There is another one who lives in walking distance (long walk) and is now a grade school teacher, we still meet to chat a bit. The third one, who may have been 25 then is graduating this coming spring and making noises about taking a sailing cruise with me then. Agreed that not all dates are with the intent of getting married.
