Yes a stereotype, guilty as charged. But vacuum cleaners are known to emit a frequency that is bad for male ears. I cant find a reference for this but, turn on a vac in a room full of people and i bet 90% of the males run!
So i deduce they emit a frequency males dont like.
Actually worse than that is when something jams up on the roller and you get that grinding noise followed by the rattle!! I hate it with a vengeance like chalk on a board. The real stereotype is most vacs are designed with ratios that fit women better than men!! Look in ergonomic references, vacs mostly come with handle lengths etc designed around the average height of a women and the buttons and handle thickness are based on a womens hand size.
But i am non pc, i was brought up by a dad who thought putting women on the front line to face bullets, was absolutely evil. The same guy who would have knocked me into next week for not opening a door for a women, or offering a lady my seat if she was standing on a train. He always said, women are very special, they are better at shaping generations and nurturing so they should be treated as special and not treated like men or used as cannon fodder.
Very non pc, but my dad always saw women as superior to men, honestly a true gent and i guess would be seen as a dinosaur now, but dosnt make him wrong. Oddly however, his views on same sex relationships etc was much more modern, he was alot like me, a simple shrug of the shoulders and couldnt see why people held strong views one way or other on it. As he once said, i like apples you like oranges, as long as the fruit is ripe to pick then dosnt matter what tree you get your fruit from.
I was around 10 or 11 when he said that, i hate to admit it took a couple of years to work out WTF he was on about
, at the time i couldnt work out what fruit had to do with relationships lol.
Boats was the other big non pc thing i got from him, he would never give a boat a male name. He was really superstitious on boats. my mum once waved to him when we went fishing, he turned it around and wouldnt take the boat back out again that day.
