I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

Eh, it’s still required to work on cars/engines. Thankfully we work on smaller vehicles (Mazda/Nissan mostly) and not some big ass diesel stuff.
I can “engineer” my way out of most situations, and have been very successful accomplishing things that many men can’t, because they can’t “think outside the box”. What I mean by that is that I have to approach things differently. I have to understand things more completely sometimes, so I can work my way around the lack of brute force, where many men can just push/lift/torque something without thought, and they get complacent. That allows me to see different solutions to things that may stump others.
That said, I have found instances where I am just not physically big, or strong enough to do something, and need help.
I also have the benefit of being much smaller, so I can get into places a lot of men can’t. It has its benefits and drawbacks.
I believe you, and I have many examples from my own life where girls are outsmarting guys because they are forced to use their brains. Guys sometimes doesn’t because we can just use strength instead, like you said.
And being smaller and more agile is a huge plus in most situations as well.
Pretty much agree 100%.
Man I’m so glad that zoomers understand the difference between sex and gender, and are doing away with this, “boys do this, and girls do that!” bullshit.
Like, oh yeah, do you know a lot of girls who are, in your mind, uncharacteristically smart? That right? That’s not condescending in any way.
I don’t know anyone who would say “uncharacteristically smart” like that. Sounds very offensive.
I agree. Maybe you shouldn’t imply it then.
I didn’t. Maybe you shouldn’t read things that aren’t there.
Maybe you’re just oblivious, but that’s exactly what you implied. That “girls” “outsmarting boys” is something novel to you.
I’m amazed you are reading that into what I said. Seems more likely you want to pick a fight with someone. But I have no interest in that, so let’s just stop here. :)
