Are women really better than men at furniture assembly (as IKEA claim)?

Probably not.

All this pro woman stuff is linked to consumerism.

All the women I know are extremely ordinary at furniture assembly. So for the average to be higher, then somewhere there must be a female furniture-assembly savant whose skill level is off the charts. If that's true then she's keeping a very low profile.

My girlfriend is much better at DIY than me, but flat packing is something I know I can do.

I think it's nothing to do with gender when it comes to DIY, it's about interest.

I wasn't interested in power tools, I was into computers.

I can strip a computer, clean it and build it back up, same with a desk, sofa or any other flat pack.

But ask me to drill into the wall and hang a picture and I panic.

Yes. You'd better put this together woman. I''ll grab a six pack and keep out of your way. That's okay. You're welcome.

Do I care which gender is good at assembling shitty, modular furniture? Definitely not.

Next.

My sister is more into creative DIY and I'm better at big stuff like carpentry or assembly. Together we are gods.

The opposite is true for my cousins. She's great at assembly and he's better at crafts.

I think it has to do with you're brought up, not a gender thing.

Ignore Ikea. They want the SJW audience.

My wife is better at DIY (and furniture assembly) than me, but when she wants a custom 3d printed part for something, she can never get the engineering of it right, so she comes to me.

We're partners.
