I got into an argument with a male I know. It wasn’t even intended as an arguement. But basically I told him that his truck burning oil so quickly wasn’t normal. Like 50 miles burned up about 2 quarts. No joke he said it was halfway down the dipstick. He got defensive and rude and told me I didn’t know what the fuck I was talking about because “women don’t know about cars”. The proceeded to be condescending and asked me for SPECIFIC reasons as to why his truck in particular was burning oil. I said I didn’t know because it hadn’t been to a mechanic and I haven’t looked at it myself. He got more and more angry. So I did tell him it could be these things, a problem with a piston, maybe a leak from the tank, etc. He doubled down saying I didn’t know what the fuck I’m talking about. I finally just lost it and was like “anyone that thinks burning thru that much oil is normal is an idiot. And yes I do know what I’m talking about because I had to study basic mechanics for the asvab!” ( I was going to go into the military). Well wouldn’t you know… today I was told the oil burning is way worse. It Is now leaking oil and the response was “sorry I spoke to you that way I was stressed. My dad said burning thru that much oil was normal in the past. But when I spoke to him he says he doesn’t have to top off his oil for a few months”. 🙄🙄🙄 I was right. Just listen to us in the first place. Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean I’m a fucking idiot.
