Hm. Now there's a test we can use. Any man who can do that is suspect. )

That's cool. I wish I could do that.

I have been hard-pressed to do normal pushups, let alone one-handed pushups (but I think it is easier for men to do them than women, so you win in the pushup arena and I win in the head/wall arena).

Okay, I just tried this on my son to see if he could accomplish this, and he could (and I know he is not female). What gives?

Whoops, I knew there was more to it, but I forgot one important part. Here is the real deal after looking it up online:

There’s this trick that *supposedly* only women can do.

Stand three feet away from a wall
Bend over and put your head against the wall
Now try to stand up while lifting a chair. (Probably a kitchen chair.)

Sorry!

BTW, this is one way women can dominate.

Here, try this:

Okay, I had my son try that version (he's beginning to think I've lost something in my brain). He failed. I tried, but could not stand three feet away and still have my head touch the wall. When I got barely close enough to touch the wall, I could not do it. Then my younger daughter (both daughters were watching us) got up and in exasperation put the chair there, put her head against the wall, and stood up with the chair in her hands. I tried it with my feet a little closer than before (so my head was firmly against the wall) and did it just fine. Now I wonder if I had my son stand closer to the wall if he could do it. But, alas, I believe he has had his fill of my weirdness tonight.

In my dreams.

You may have read the second link, but I think there are two points to be brought out.
1) chair has to be placed sideways against the wall.
2) feet have to be far enough from the wall as to not allow any part of them be under the chair.

Two facts
1) While bent over the chair and head on wall, a man's center of mass is over the chair, rendering him unable to raise up while holding the lifted chair.
2) Whereas, a woman's center of mass is closer to her hips. That's why she can stand up straight while holding the chair.

I didn't intend on straying from the main topic, it's just that I couldn't see starting a new thread with this.

Something else I used to be able to do until I gained too much body mass, including bigger legs. Young people can do this with ease with practice.

1) take a dowel like a broom stick, longer one for tall people, you'll see why
2) hold stick with both hands behind body, palms facing body
3) without removing hands, raise stick up and over the head until the stick is at arms length. Hands will feel weird but hold stick tightly
4) bend over a little, raise a foot and put it through the opening, from the outside in, between stick and body
5) while hunched over, raise stick up and over body until it is in front and one is standing nearly upright
6) draw leg out of opening and the stick is now in front...without removing hands throughout the exercise.
7) if either hand comes off stick, start over

Thanks for this explanation. My son was a bit torqued that he failed. I told him the reason, and I think it he feels better about it, now that he understands the physiology of it.

You're welcome.

What happens when you have a feminist dominated nation?
