As a woman there are a few things I've been told I can't do and that I need a man to do them for me or I can't do something without a man because it's their job or responsibility or that it isn't ladylike to do something. So here are a few things women apparently can't do since it's apparently for men only.
1. Pump gas
According to a Facebook User women aren't allowed to do this when a man is present.
