I’m ok with whatever it is.
If I can’t do it, it can’t be that important

I was taught an idiotic song in elementary school called, “Grandma Grunts.” The lyrics were as follows:

“gradma grunts said a curious thing
boys can whistle but girls must sing
that is what i heard her say, was no longer than yesterday

boys can whistle whoo-whoo-whee
but girls must sing tra-la-la-la-la

boys can whistle oh yes they may
they can whistle the livelong day
why can't girls whistle too pray tell
if they manage to do it well?

grandma grunts said it wouldn't do
and she gave a good reason too
whistling girls and cackling hens
always come to some bad ends”

Sexist stereotypes and racism were just about written into the curriculum when I was a child. Inexcusable, but the norm then…

That is so cool.

Here in the UK and probably in the rest of Europe, when it came down to a situation of needs must as the devil drives, in WW2 the ladies did everything, even heavy metal bashing in foundries. The men couldn't have fought off Hitler without the supplies the ladies made and the trains and trucks that they drove. Nothing was off limits, except perhaps stand up urinals in the bathroom.

Yes, we can do just about anything we have to. Physical strength is our only limitation and for some women not even that slows them down.

((perhaps stand up urinals in the bathroom.))

And even those can be managed with a little care.....
