Tyres Changing and Women

Assuming the person (Male or female) is physically able to complete the job with out hurting them selves I think they should know how to and be willing to the change a tire.

Maybe I am mean but when I met my wife I taught her how to fix the car (Motor repairs/lube/oil/tires/exhaust).
