Should A Woman Pump Gas?
They were talking on the radio this morning about a photo of Kim Kardashian pumping gas in a car while Kanye West just watched.
The talk was that Kanye should have gotten out of the car and pumped the gas. One article suggested she was trained like a dog. Here is the link: Link

What’s to stop her ass from getting up and doing it?? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
*didn’t read blog*
I’ll pump whatever you want me to
I am old school, no I would pump gas even if she was just a friend.
Dan, you do realize that women have gas too? Right?
I always pump my own gas. It doesn’t take that much effort.
my hubby almost always pumps it for me if we are together however i dont mind doing it.
If it’s her car, yes. Although if my husband gets out to pump the gas for my car I’m not going to argue with him.
Why not? But I’m not one to argue about it if the hubs wants to do it – and he generally does.
WHY IS SHE NOT IN THE KITCHEN?
I would think they would have an entourage for banal tasks like that.
A woman should be able/allowed to pump gas, but that doesn’t mean that a man can’t be a gentleman and pump it for her. I mean, I’m not sure where the concept came from that pumping gas was a man job, but since men aren’t out washing dishes, I reckon they can pump gas.
I’m so disconnected from Hollywood, I have no idea who these people are pumping and not pumping. ha, but I guess that is another story.
My man has kept my tank full for 28 years. For whatever reason, I started pumping my own gas two years ago. It’s kind of empowering. I now know I could drive to Montana. If I ever get a hankerin’ to drive to Montana.
Should he pump? If she is fully capable, I say no.
OMG Why do we care? I pump my own gas and I like it.
Hell yes she should. I’d pump his gas too if I felt like it. It’s fucking gas. No gender roles.
If I’m driving- no matter who I’m with- I’ll pump my own gas, thank you very much!!
That’s just silly. Why shouldn’t she?
The man forced brothers to pump their gas for four hundred years. It’s about time some white bitch did some of dat shit.
@Thatslifekid - That sounds faintly dirty.
Women should only pump one thing in my opinion.
she can be trained? smarter than i thought.
Gotcha.. Double entendre right ?
Why not? I enjoy pumping gas.
a women should never pump gas. period. (sarcasm)
@Its_PapaBear - Nothing wrong with good manners like yours!
Kathi
It’s always been my habit that whoever is driving pumps.
If a woman a capable, she should pump her own gas. But I wouldn’t get upset if my husband offers to help me with it. Now, if it was his car, he was driving but makes her get out to pump it…maybe not. In the 8 years I’ve had my car, my husband has only filled up the tank twice, and that was because he used it up and I was not with him.
In high heels, short skirt/shorts, and a low cut top. She should accidentally drop something and bend over to pick it up and clean the window, too. Yep. Now I must get a Gas Pump Girl outfit.
Whoever is paying for the gas/owns the vehicle should pump it.
@Thatslifekid -that’s hot
Gas? All I see is ASS and it is tooooo big.
@Cestovatelka - You really think the Kardashians cook?
@Cestovatelka – bahahahahahahaha
She should also change her own oil & filter, keep the window washer fluid tank full and gap her own spark plugs!
Maybe if it’s late at night, I’m not in a good area, and I have a male companion with me it might be nice if he did it for me. But otherwise I see no reason why I shouldn’t be the one doing it. It’s my car, my gas card, and I AM a big girl…
@tendollar4ways – creeper…
My wife doesn’t think so!
@isayroar - She makes JLo look like like flat ass. I bet Kayne has to help her wipe because she prolly can’t get in that deep.
I don’t mind pumping the gas, however, my husband generally does when he is with me. The only gas tanks I hated was the ones behind the license plate. That darn door had too much of a spring on it. I almost had to hold it down with my foot.
obviously she wants to get out of the car to pump gas to show off her cute outfit and strike a pouty pose
@tendollar4ways – even f*cking nastier. How old are you anyways? Grow the hell up you sick perv.
@isayroar – you look 60. Once again. You’re sick.
yes a woman can pump her own gas.
Kanye West is a spoiled baby, of course he’s going to make her pump the gas. He’s probably selfish in bed too.
He shouldn’t HAVE to pump her gas, but I think it’s a nice gesture. I dated a guy who would immediately get out of the car and do it for me. I always thought it was really sweet, but I guess because of that I do kind of expect a guy to do it if we’re dating. If he doesn’t I wouldn’t freak out or get upset, but I do think it’s a nice gesture. It’s kind of like opening a door for a girl. I’m fully capable of opening my own doors, but when a guy I’m dating does it for me I always think it’s cute and sweet.
I’m quite sure that’s not all she knows how to pump
I think it makes sense that one stays behind the wheel while the other pumps gas and pays. That way the driver can drive the car away if it is in someone’s way. So if he was driving….
Why not? what makes women so much more valuable than men? why is it that we need to be polite to the women? im not saying its a bad thing to be polite. but why should women get the luxuries because of their gender? women do have rights just the same as any man, actually I believe that people have made women more powerful than men in some cases. really, I do not believe that any one gender has any more authority over the other. we are all equal in the eyes of the lord.and besides, its just gas of all things. why do people believe that women should have to do no labor? if they want to do it, let them do it. we all have free will.
are you serious? LOL. maybe she offered? and who even cares WHO pumps the gas in the relationship? it doesn’t mean she’s “trained”, it simply means she got her ass out of the car and pumped gas. what if kanye got out and pumped gas and kim sat and watched? headlines would probably be “Kim is too worried about chipping a nail!” “Kim K — LAZY!”
people are crazy. having said that and thinking back though, the last few times i drove and the car needed gas my husband got out and pumped. i don’t really know why since i was going to do it every time but whatever. i needed to check my facebook anyways.
It’s just pumping gas, no male equipment required.
I like pumping gas, even when I’m not driving. I like pushing the buttons.
who cares who pumps the gas? Seriously? This is about as ignorant as the whole ‘put the toilet seat down’ argument. STFU.
In our family, who ever is driving pumps the gas. If there is a passenger, the passenger does window. But, if the last driver should have filled, and now it is raining, there might be some negotiations on the pumping!
He usually pumps for both cars. Not because I can’t or won’t but because he’s a math nerd and has this whole system for tracking MPG and I mess it all up because I don’t care.
I actually just found out that our new car doesn’t have a gas cap! Crazy!
No, Kanye should be pumping the gas & Kim should be in the car making him a sandwich. Duh.
If she wants to pump gas let her, it’s not like Kanye is making her carry a sofa on her own, pumping gas takes no effort whatsoever.
@jess_i_cuh - For some reason that makes the most sense to me. We’re the same way.
egh. i don’t think it matters.
I always put the gas for my wife, and daughters.
@Thatslifekid - @Cestovatelka - @jess_i_cuh - @TiredSoVeryTired - @SherylM - @MommaFish89 - Non! Vous ne comprenons pas! It is scientifically proven that women are twice as likely to catch fire while pumping gasoline! This happens due to static electricity causing a spark when they touch the gas cap. Since you femmes were such weird clothing with rayon and polyester, you are more likely to shock your selves when exiting vehicle due to the friction your magical lightning rod clothing produces. So in conclusion pumping gas is too dangerous for you….Unless you do it naked…hmmmmm
@amateurprose - Ninja please.
@isayroar - I don’t see how saying someone has a fatass makes you immature yet calling someone an immature senior citizen makes you mature?
i pump gas. lol
If it is her car, she should pump the gas.
Why not? It’s not like having XX chromosomes makes one more susceptible to dying from holding a gas pump…
why does the man have to do everything?
If my husband is with me, he always does it. I think if a stranger offered to do it I’d probably think they were trying to steal something. HA.
Hopefully they start working in coal mines and dying on the front lines too. Fuck the kitchen. Lets even out that death gap between the genders.
If the man is a gentleman he’ll offer, but I pump my own damn gas all the time.
Wifey feels good if I pump the gas and open the doors. Always do what makes the other feel good! You’ll need the extra points later.
I consider it a lot like borrowing things from friends/neighbors… If you’re going to use the gas, you should also be the one to replace it.
He should pump the gas. He is lazy, entitled, and inconsiderate. He probably treats her like crap too. I had an ex who didnt pump the gas and he wouldnt take out the trash. He was abusive and inconsiderate. When I saw he refused to pump gas, I knew I had to get rid of him b/c he would be inconsiderate in all other areas.
If she can handle walking around with medieval torture devices on her feet all day, she can handle pumping gas.
The very first time my husband and I ever drove anywhere together, he pumped the gas.
It’s been that way ever since.
In my opinion, who ever owns the car should gas it up. Duh?
I can pump my own gas into my own car. How hard is it? What does it matter that Kim is pumping gas and Kanye was in the car? I’m fine with that. Guys should be fine with that.
……..
I think that it’s a nice gesture for a gentleman to assist a woman. It’s called etiquette but I guess Kanye hasn’t heard of such a thing. Anyways, if there isn’t a man that actually cares about the delicacy of etiquette, then the woman can fend for herself anyways.
@Cestovatelka - bwahahahahaha!
Last time I checked, people are created equal? There have been times i’ve been just too damn lazy to get out and pump gas, which my boyfriend feeds into my laziness and pumps for me, either way. I truly don’t believe it matters. It is just gas after all..
Absolutly not. If there is a man that is present then he should be pumping the gas. Exspecually if he is fucking me, then he better do everything and I should not have to lift a hand at all. I mean come on, men are made for certain things and women are too! That is rediculous to be in pumps, pumping gas but if Kanye has her trained like that, to each it’s own. She the stupid one!
I never pump when my Hubby is with me because he is all about being a southern gentleman. But I do know how to pump. Sometimes I’ll go in and pay while he pumps.
Why shouldn’t a woman pump gas if a man is present? I’m just as good at pumping gas as any man…although sometimes it’s difficult to get the gas cap off.
let a woman pump the gas if she wants to.
Dan, are you implying that Kim Kardashian is a bitch?
She’s not too weak to pump her own gas, geez.
You know, this would seem like news if this was in a state like Oregon, where there’s no self-service. I guess. Is this really even newsworthy?
Only if she has hand sanitizer for after. Which pretty much answers any question about what a woman should do.
STILL turdy after all these years
BTW, have you embalmed John Hitler yet???
My old man & I generally will take each other’s vehicles based on what our needs are for the day and who will be driving more miles since one is a gas hog and the other is not… It infuriates me to no end that my shit seems to be resting on E every time I turn the key. In that respect, I really wish he would keep my tank at least not empty. Anyway, if we are together, he usually pumps the gas but I have no issues with doing it myself.
they should do it 50/50
If it’s her car then yes she should, if it’s his car then he should pump his own,equal rights.
The owner of the vehicle should be responsible…Who cares if a woman is doing it anyways?
I like when my boyfriend pumps my gasoline (I kind of feel like it’s part of chivalry)…but I can do it without problems…
@Cestovatelka - hahahahaha exactly.
If it’s her car, she should do it. If he offers to do it for her, that’s cool too.
@tendollar4ways – you’re an old perverted sick bastard. End of story.
This takes all of like 70 seconds. I don’t understand, and I even “hold doors open for people like all the time”.
@isayroar - You don’t think KK has a big ass??
Nothing wrong with a woman pumping gas. Especially if it’s her own car. Normally when I see cars pull into a gas station, whoever is driving usually gets out and pumps the gas, regardless of gender. Seems fine to me.
depends on who is driving and which person’s car it is…
do you think a woman should pump gas?
But she’s wearing her gas-pumpin’ pumps!
The quality of your blogs and articles and worth appreciating.
