I would say a tow truck is very much a specialty vehicle.  Hardly anybody will ever need that.
Not a tow truck, a truck that can tow things.  Trailers, other cars, u-haul boxen

Given the number of men who scoff at being able to tie a necktie, a lady* knowing how to do it for when she needs to have her gentleman accompany her to a formal affair wouldn't be a bad thing.

* - Not necessarily a Lady.

Yeah every time I've had to haul one of those I did so with an automatic transmission.  Sticks are superfluous.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Knowing how to drive stick isn't important, it's just kinda manly.

And I know how to sew. I'm not particularly great at it, but I can mend my own clothes. When I get playful sass due to it, I generally respond with something like "What's so unmanly about being able to take care of shit your self?"

I'm not sure you should necessarily be embarassed to not know how, but knowing how to drive a manual transmission (and knowing how to drive, period) can come in exceedingly useful whenever you're outside of your regular stomping grounds.
