I Enjoy Putting Dresses In Your Son's Closets

What Do Dresses Have On Some Peoples Veiw That 'i Can Do Everything'... Hi all
I wasn't sure where to put this but it is certainly an issue that needs to be discussed or else there will be numerous rules and laws that we have to abide by for no reason.

In society there are some people who think I can do everything- I can drive my tractor/ car/ Alteraine vehicle [ATV or 4 wheel bike] up and down hills and slopes of just about any level of steepness- this is a problem and deffinatley not true- in reality it can lead to a roll over of what ever vehicle you are driving and that is just the start- in a good situation the driver and any passengers get out with only a few minor injuries and scrapes and issues in a bad situation bokes are broken or the person is knocked out for a good period of time- in a horrible situation the person is killed. tractors are a lot safer now that roll over protection or ROPS has to be on every tractor [at least in Australia at any rate].

I certainly don't want to see ropps compulsiry on 4 wheel bikes as it is helpful to be a very low centre of gravity and very low vehicle allowing an experienced user to get under low tree branches and other low items. I suspect rops may get in the way at times such as when putting a spray tank on the back of a 4 wheel bike. I would also be wanting to put lights on my rops bar as the lights that are supplied are often useless in my veiw.


While sitting on the tractor this afternoon slashing parts of our front paddock for the festive season and I got to a steep spot it got me thinking- if those boys and men who think they can do everything are forced to wear a dress and other girls clothes then would they bigin to change there veiw to something that involves a little bit more common sense. 


For me I take the veiw 'if I don't think I can get down/ up there then I simply don't go there and will find another place to get up or down. I also will pull out if I change my view that I cann't get down the slope- this veiw has served me well my entire life and if more people took this veiw then the world would be a much safer place. I will also lean in to the dirt in an attempt to stop the vehicle rolling over/ or stand up or sit back when on a 4 wheel bike and going through a steep spot. I have also ordered dogs to get off the bike before to decrease the weight while I get through a certain small steep spot. Once I am through the spot I tell them to get back on the bike.

So in conclusion I would like to know your veiws, I suspect that it most likely depends on the type of person, but thats life I guess. but please tell us your veiws- do you think that if guys had to whear dresses and other girls clothes they would be less likely to have a veiw of 'I can do anything'


Like most things in Life, tractors, cars and 4 wheel bikes are very helpful, when used in the right manner

I am often careful [I take risks that will I think I can complete without having an accedent and none that I can't complete] but thanks for the advice,

Year I was thinking about that tonight- of late I have spent 4-5 odd nights this week swiming in our backyard pool in a girls 1 piece, black swim suit. I have concluded that I would not want to wear anything else when home alone ect- and the novlty has begun to wear off there as well- but I still enjoy it. that got me thinking eventually the novelty may wear off for boy girls taking risks as well, but in the short term in may work.

In the long term, technology may well do a lot of what we currently do- auto draft sheep and cattle, fences via satelite- farmers would spend less time worrying about such things and thus often less chance of rolling a bike/ car or tractor. How ever the next generation having not had to do that work will have less experience and that presents a problem[i.e. rolling the vehicle]
