Ginny,
I can't speak for others, but I think you may be overreacting to Gordon's post and reading some sexism into it that may not be there. The 'sewing machine' reference is a common one in the world of mechanical engineering, as an example of a familiar device that has lots of small, intricately machined parts which are very sensitive to proper lubrication, etc. I'm hoping he meant it that way, and not in the way you think. In any case, you're certainly right about mechanical skill being non-gender-specific. Certainly my own mother had far more mechanical aptitude than my father did!
