For most people, driving a manual car has very little bearing on how successful they are in life, or how good of people they are. "If you drive an automatic, you aren't a real man." What does that even mean? Suddenly you don't have a penis? Suddenly you're a bad husband or father because you don't manually change gears in your car? "Have you ever even driven a real car?" What, suddenly automatic cars are figments of our imagination and we're actually just imagining ourselves driving? Why do you people feel the need to insult others who don't have the same skill set as them? Might as well start calling people who using washing machines to wash their clothes instead of hand washing them "lazy."
I am awful at driving manual. I have tried and I just suck at it. Sadly i live in an environment where this is constantly held over my head and it makes me very sad . So I needed to vent.

    To be fair, I'm a man, and I probably would prefer driving an automatic. Don't worry about it Shion: you're not the only one!

    As an aside, being the girlfriend of a car mechanic with car loving friends isn't exactly ideal either

    Boyfriend Formal? Might want to fix that typo.

    Also, I've never driven standard in my life because the opportunity has never presented itself.
