Unfortunately my girlfriend and I have not figured out how to resolve the door and jar issues without one of us transitioning or inviting a man to come live with us. We’ve just grown accustomed to living in a house full of doors and jars that we simply cannot open.

Back when she was a 'girl', did she just swan through doors, letting them slam on the person behind her? Nice.

That's funny because I hold the door whenever I can. How is that a gender specific thing especially in current day

This is so pathetic. How can not one of them see how regressive and pointless this all is.

I don't understand the trans movement at all.

Guess it's back to letting doors slam on people for me! I'll be over here throwing away all my men's hoodies and quietly starving to death as I stare down the tantalizing foods hopelessly encased in glass prisons.

Serious question : is it uncommon to hold doors in the US? People would think you are a jerk if you slammed the door in their face in Germany, regardless of your gender.

There’s a difference between holding the door behind you and standing to the side letting somebody else go through ahead of you. Most people do the former but the latter is supposed to be reserved for “gentlemen” as a courtesy to “ladies”—and for me because I just don’t care.

Woman here who holds doors open for people all the time, especially when their hands are full, and the best brute force jar-opener I ever met was a tiny Thai woman who basically had vices for hands (I have my techniques, though).

Even though men have much greater grip strength than women, women are conditioned to just give up and not bother finding out their own strength levels at all. She really thinks it's her trans identity and magic metamorphosis potion that did it.

Stab the lid. It's the tricky cava bottles that cause me gyp. Thank God for tea towels and a British determination to drink.

I’ve always been really good at opening jars that other people can’t. It’s one of my few skills. Not any less a woman though.

We don't know that yet. Do you regularly attend sleepovers where you have pillow fights with other girls? Does math give you a headache? Do you cry for at least two hours a day and/or experience extreme emotions most of the time? If the answer to any of these questions is "no", it is my duty, nay, pleasure, to inform you that you in all likelihood are actually a man.

Joint pain has made it hard for me to open jars in recent years. But you know what works? Hot water and a fluffy towel. That combo has never yet failed me even with my abysmal grip strength. But if it ever does, I guess transitioning might be on the table. Maybe. (I kid).
I live alone. There is no backup. I have no particular grip strength but rubber dishwashing gloves are my secret weapon—it’s important for everything to be dry. Really stubborn jars might have to get the edge of the lid tapped on the counter to make a dent and break the seal. Being my own man, Part 38,792.
I also hold doors all the time. It’s just basic decency. Or me totally failing to girl.

when I can't open jars, it's always another woman that opens it for me. not a man
spinningintellectOctober 17, 2022
Get a cork screw. Use it to puncture lid. Tada, lid no longer difficult to open.
RedmageOctober 17, 2022
I have joint pain similar to arthritis and I can open jars. It's just a scrap of rubber, or even a dish cloth.
One of those things is not like the other. Or, well, two.
Holding doors open is just polite. Normal people without gender delusions do it all the time.
Being able to open jars is just great in and of itself. No gender delusions required - I certainly wouldn't complain about feeling "unfeminine" if I was great at opening jars. (I am not, though. It sucks. And me being disappointed that I can't eat whatever is in that jar I couldn't open is not any indication of genderfeelz, thank you very much.)

If you can break the seal, the lid twists off way easier; just the tip of a knife or a bottle opener inserted up the side of the lid and pry juuuuuust enough to hear it pop/hiss and you should be good to go.
Enjoy your jar contents :)

While I do that while others are watching, what I do when it's just me is pretend I'm an angry male gorilla and just bang it around, while screeching. Sometimes I beat my chest and then take an angry nap.
TwoXChromosomesOctober 17, 2022
I came here to say this exact thing. No need to brute force your way into a jar if you just use your brain.
Take a shot every time you’re on Ovarit and someone mentions this trick
Ah yes, the two genders: normal person and weirdo who refuses to hold the door open for others.
Right like what kind of goblin just lets the door fall on someone!
