Grrl Power in Action...
Folks,
Someone posted the below piece on Mancoat. It's from the site for the Darwin
Awards. For those who don't know, people who do stupid things that could get
them killed or render them infertile are worthy of a Darwin Award. The
original post can be found here; the post is printed below. I responded to it
on the forum, and that response follows this post. Thanks, and enjoy...

She Can Do Anything He Can Do
2007 Personal Account (May 2007, Berkeley, California) I was taught by my
fraternity to believe in human service, and always lend a hand. Particularly
to attractive young women! One Saturday afternoon, I was drinking beer on the
front deck of the frat house, and enjoying the California sun, when I heard
the unmistakable "thump thump, thump thump" of a flat tire. A Ford SUV pulled
up to the curb, and two pretty young women hopped out to inspect the damage.
I quickly jumped down from the deck and offered to lend a hand. Perhaps they
needed a jack, or a spare set of hands? I was rebuffed. "Just because we're
women, doesn't mean we can't change a tire." So I sat back on the deck to
watch the show.
The women retrieved tools and the spare from their vehicle without trouble,
and began to jack up the car. They didn't notice that the car was right
against the curb. There was no room to remove the wheel or install the new
one. I attempted to step in, but was brusquely rebuffed.
Eventually, they realized their error, and rolled the car forward to the ramp
in the curb. Here, again, they didn't take into account the angled edge of the
curb, which allowed for drainage. Even fully extended, the jack wasn't tall
enough to allow the installation of a fully inflated spare. Again, I offered
my help. I suggested that they put the jack on a 4x4 block of wood I had
handy, to offset the height.
But no! They wanted to change the tire themselves.
The young women found a cinder block, set the jack on it, jacked up the car,
and removed the flat. Here's where the Darwin potential comes in. Until now, I
had not paid attention to where on the underbody they had positioned the jack.
I made the mistake of assuming they knew a jack couldn't just go anywhere. I
was proven wrong.
With the jack fully extended, and the flat removed, one woman began to put the
spare on the studs. If you own an SUV, you know these spares aren't
lightweight. The woman sat on the curb, with her legs extended underneath the
SUV, and wheel hub positioned directly in front of her. Only then did I
realize that they had placed the jack on the only "flat" spot of the
underbody--the floorboard of the passenger seat!
Before I could yell to get her out of there, the jack tore through the
floorboard, and dropping the front of the SUV directly on the women legs. The
hub fell just shy of crushing her unmentionables. To my knowledge, she
suffered two broken femurs (impressive, given that they're the strongest bones
in the human body) but no damage to the procreative parts. Still, she came as
close to an Honorable Mention as I believe a woman can.

Guys,
Didn't either of these chicks ever hear of an important, little book that
comes with most vehicles? Regardless of whether it's an on highway vehicle,
off highway vehicle, motorcycle, quad, automobile, etc., it more than likely
has a little book that comes with it, and this little book talks about nothing
but their vehicle. Did they ever hear about this book called "The Owner's
Manual"? If they bought the vehicle used and lacked an owner's manual, didn't
it occur to them to ORDER a copy of the manual from the company that BUILT the
thing? Didn't it occur to them that this might be a good idea, since the folks
who built the thing might actually know a thing or two about its safe
operation? Didn't they have enough sense to CONSULT the thing when it came
time to change the tire? And, did they accept help from a guy who offered to
help them? Did it ever occur to them that maybe he'd DONE this before, and
could guide them through the process? Didn't it occur to these girls that it
might be a good idea to accept help and guidance from someone more experienced
than them? Obviously they didn't, given their conduct and the ultimate
outcome-stupid bitches...
Had they consulted the owner's manual, they would have found precise
instructions on how to SAFELY change a tire; they would have found where the
jack is; they would have found instructions on how to assemble the jack; they
would have found instructions, cautions, and admonitions about WHERE to
position the jack, and why; they would have known that there are SAFE places
to position the jack, and that there are UNSAFE places to position the jack;
they would have found instructions on where to do the tire change, e.g. off
the main roadway, away from the curb, on a flat surface, etc.; in short, they
would have found EVERYTHING they needed to know about changing the tire on
their vehicle and doing so SAFELY! Can anyone say "DUH"?!
Then again, many guys are pathetic in this area too. As you may know, I
returned to school later in life; I was an older student. Anyway, one of my
classmates had a problem starting his car, and he asked me to help him. Having
had a similar problem before with one of my cars, and having used my owner's
manual to help me solve it, I had a good idea that he hadn't followed the
instructions in his owner's manual.
So, before we went out to his car, I asked him some questions. Was the engine
warm? Was it cold? Or, was it in between? How long had he run it? How long ago
had he run the engine? IOW, had he run just long enough to get above ice cold
(it was winter or early spring when this happened), or had the engine achieved
its normal operating temperature? Had he been gone for an hour, driving his
car that entire time? He gave me a blank look, so I asked him if he'd only run
the car for a short time, say to go down the road to a nearby pizzeria, or had
he gone farther? He said that he'd gone to eat at the shopping center a mile
or so away from campus. Bam-I had the info I needed! I finally asked if had an
owner's manual for his car; he said yeah, but it's out in my car. I said good,
so we went out to his car to consult the the thing.
We got out to his car, and he handed me the manual. Leafing through it, I
quickly found what I was looking for-starting procedures for a Honda Civic.
They also had the information I was seeking-starting procedures for hot, cold,
and in between engines. I pointed these out to him; I told him to just do what
the books says, and you'll be fine. I told him that I'd had a similar problem
with my old car, and this is how I solved it. When he took a quick look at
that section of his manual, he saw the REASON why I'd asked him the questions
I had, and he saw what he had to do-follow the procedure for starting
partially warmed engine. He then did what the book said to do; lo & behold,
seconds later, his car fired up, and it ran fine. He smiled, thanked me, and
said that I was a genius, stuff like that. I said no; I'm not a genius. I just
followed the instructions, and the problem went away as a result. He left,
while I went to class.
This situation, i.e. the injuries the girls got, was totally avoidable-totally
avoidable! If they'd just pulled out their owner's manual, read the thing,
then did what it SAID to do (I've yet to see an owner's manual that doesn't
have instructions on changing a vehicle's tire), they'd have been fine. Sure,
they might have been late to where they were going; they might have gotten
their hands dirty; hell, they may have even broken some of their fake
nails-oh, the horror! Even so, they would have eventually been able to change
the tire, and they would have been able to do so safely; they damn sure would
not have gotten broken legs out of the deal! But, because these stupid, stuck
up bitches didn't follow directions, and because they wouldn't accept help
from someone more knowledgeable than themselves, they paid the price for it-a
predictable result of their actions, really.
Am I sorry about what happened to them? I hate to say it, but not really. I'm
not at all sorry some Ameribitches got their legs broken. Given how they'd
most likely lived their lives up to that point, they more than likely got what
they deserved; as one of the previous posters said, it was karma at work.
Moreover, given the fact that they're young, college bitches, they've had the
standard, Feminazi indoctrination that all college age bitches get: all their
lives (from grade school on), they've been told how divine, perfect, and
wonderful they are because they have a vagina; everything that's wrong (both
in their lives and in the world) is men's fault. That IS what AW are told
these days, and they believe it. As a result, they'll blame men, the
patriarchy, or anything else but themselves for what happened to them; they
won't even THINK about blaming themselves for their foolish, stupid,
ignominious injuries; such a notion will never occur to them. I doubt that
they'll ever see that it was their fault, and their fault alone for what
happened to them, but who else is to blame here? Didn't that frat boy offer to
help them, only to be rebuffed several times? In the end, it was no one else's
fault but their own that their legs were broken.
However, I'm not glad that a fellow human being got hurt. I've been hurt (not
like THAT, but I have been hurt enough to know that I don't like it very
much), and it sucks. I don't like to see anyone go through that. But, when you
don't FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, things like this are likely to happen; this is only
common sense. There's a reason why there is this thing called 'the book', and
there's a reason why it contains what it does: the lessons therein were more
than likely paid for in blood. Someone, somewhere, at some time learned the
hard way that there is a RIGHT way to do things, and that there is a WRONG way
to do them. He may have gotten severely injured; he may have even been killed.
No matter how he learned the hard way, learn the hard way he did. These
lessons were learned, and they were passed on in written form. Even if injury
isn't a possibility, why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to? Why not find
out how do accomplish your task by reading the instructions of others who've
done this task before you, and found all the ways to do it right? Why not
learn from a knowledgeable person how to avoid the common pitfalls that face
all novices in any area of endeavor? Again, this is common sense, people! Then
again, American Women may be in possession of a great many things (especially
shoes); unfortunately, common sense is not among them...
In closing, these stupid bitches brought their misfortune on themselves. They
did everything wrong when they attempted to change their tire, and they paid
the price for their foolishness; they got broken legs out of the deal-ouch!
They have no one to blame but themselves. In physics, there's this law about
each action having an equal but opposite REACTION. The same applies to life.
You do things the right way, you'll get the right results; you do things the
wrong way, you'll get the wrong results. It's just that simple. As I said
before, we had a saying in the Navy, and we had it for a reason: when all else
fails, follow directions. What happened to these girls is an example of this
principle in action. It's really common sense when you think about it...
