196. People still "iron?" Really?
I do know how to cook. Good food makes people you love happy. I know how to sew as well. But that's mostly as a hobby. With the cost of fabric it costs way more to make clothes than buy them.

But I also know how to change the oil or a tire and drive a stick-shift.

Both my son and daughter were taught all these skills as well.

None of these skills should be gender biased anymore.

And if it is really important that a certain shirt be pressed perfectly? There are these places that do it for a price that is well worth the exchange of time it would take to do at home.
