Is this for real or have I just slipped into some sort of parallel universe where Stupid Cow is actually a virtue?

Sadly there is a breed of woman out there for whom 'tee hee thats mens stuff and I'm just a fragile little thing' appears to be normal.
The tactic is aimed at persuading you to offer to do work for them. Check the oil, change the wheel, blueprint the engine, whatever.If you agree then they've got the work done for nothing and tell their friends how easy it is to manipulate men. If you don't then they tell their friends all men are b
ds because you refused to help. Either way they win.

Yeah, my missus is forever on at me to blueprint the engine of her Golf TDi! 
'Gaawan', she says, 'Please blueprint the engine, Janet's boyfriend has done her Focus. If you loved me you would...'
Not classic from the mrs, but classic from the bint on radio one yesterday!
A guy sent a text in saying he was a roofer and that he was enjoying the show while pointing a house. Granted it could be worded better, but it is only a text message. She followed up by saying that she though he probably meant he was painting a house and that she had this funny image of a man standing pointing at a house while listening to the chart show.
All 4 of us in the car just shook our heads simultaneously.

In a very basic and probably inadequate form, these days, it is.
Really? Thats interesting. I past my test in 91 so a lot has changed since then.My daughter knows how to check oil, water, tyre depths and how to change a wheel. She's 16 and not been behind the wheel yet. I'd feel like I'd failed her in a way if I sent her off out in a car she had no clue about and unable to help herself out of basic situations. Yes, she can call the AA or whatever, but in a situation like described above where she's in the middle of nowhere with no signal to know she can sort her wheel and carry on her journey isn't a bad feeling at all.

It is the same here on our TV news. I watched the news on 2 channels tonight, hoping to get a report on something I was interested. I couldn't believe how bad they were.

One had only a female anchor, & the only man was the sports reporter. Every other reporter was female, & quite obviously did not really understand the topic they were supposed to be reporting.
The other channel had a pair of anchors, one of each & a man sports reporter, with all females reporting. Again they did not understand the subjects supposed to be reporting, & the male anchor was no better. Not one of them knew which way was up. Are there any male journalists today?

The past couple of days my OH has had a bad back and leg, so had been thinking about not going in to work today. Personally, I don't like to do this, and would turn up to work to prove how bad you are and let them send you home, so I suggested that to her.
This morning the alarm goes off at 6am so she can get the bus (she hates driving, and parking in the area is bad anyway).
She rolls over, tries to reach the alarm, and then asks me to turn it off because she can't reach.
10 minutes later she's still not up, so I think that maybe she decided to not going today after all.
30 minutes after that, she shakes me and points at the clock.
"Yes, it's 6:40 - what's up?"
"I fell asleep - can you drop me in, please?"
"Okay"
So we get up, have breakfast, and while stuck in traffic (another reason not to drive in) she says "Did the alarm go off? I didn't hear it".
Grrr.
