Re: Women should be able to open things
#2First reaction - Men whose "young adult" days were well back into the last century also want to open jars. If you're willing to use a tool or two, it's still easily done. Maybe the difference is that I got used to using tools, back when those were more-manly things like screwdrivers and socket wrenches?
Second reaction - If you want the food to be safe to eat, but without the extra cost and hassle of jars with separate home-canning-style lids and bands, then being hard to open may be pretty inescapable.

Heh. When in serious need, break out the giant ChannelLocks, and have someone else hold the jar. A foot of leverage can move most lids...

Or just gently dent the edge of the metal lid, enough to break the seal, and it'll open easily.

With only one person needed. And denting can usually be done with an old-fashioned can/bottle-opener, to minimize the chance of cracking the glass jar.

I think you need to know about the JarKey (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00167Z2UO/). Does the job without any risk of damaging glass or even the jar lid itself.

#8No one should be able to do anything. You learn to do it or you don't. There are women who are already capable of opening jars without help. There's no conspiracy here. If you think it's an untapped market go out and start selling easy open jars.

I suspect a lot of people don’t know that jar opening tools exist beyond the flat pieces of grippy rubber. Amazing what adding a handle and a bit of leverage can do.
