I pretty much agree with your list Anne... though point 3 might require more bravery than I possess. But then started wondering what is the corollary of this? That femininity should require women to be helpless whenever they are confronted by anything a bit technical?
Personally, I find women who are happy to check valve clearances or rewire a house quite admirable... being competent at dealing with as much as possible of life's tasks is something I aspire to and appreciate in members of the opposite sex too.
I think Mr May is probably less trying to reinforce gender stereotypes than railing against uselessness.
