Some guys won't even try to teach them, or like a famous basketball player who bought his wife a Lamborghini and then paid nearly double to have it made into an automatic.
Either way my response to them is "guys like women who can shift their own gears. There are pages and pages of YouTube videos of it".

And in foreign countries I've visited women learn how to drive manual early on.
But for some reason it's seen as some special talent here.
