A female mechanic has gone to lengths to ensure women and non-binary people feel comfortable and at ease whenever they have car troubles. The 25-year-old used to be “anxious” when she needed assistance, and male-dominated repair shops were the only thing available, so she started her own business.

Zoe Cog, from Manchester, UK, created a safe space for women to look for car assistance, a repair shop she called AutoCog. Although she started out as a receptionist in the industry, she became a mechanic herself. It was then she realized women constantly felt anxious about entering male-dominated repair shops, fearing discrimination or belittling.
“I’ve been the girl on the other end, worried about walking into places like garages and feeling anxious, and although it’s never easy, I like to think I’m an approachable, friendly female who has created a place where you can walk in and feel at ease, regardless of your gender,” she said in an interview.
“I get pleasure out of taking the pressure off the girls and can give as good of a service as any male-owned garage, but also build trust with the people I’m working with,” she added.
The response to Autocog surpassed all expectations, according to her. “Honestly, the response to my garage has been phenomenal and beyond anything I’d ever expected. It’s been an incredible rollercoaster. I’ve had so much support and positive feedback from not just women but also some incredible words from men,” she revealed.
She continued, mentioning how some feedback also proved why a female-owned repair shop was much needed. “Although some of the comments have proved why such a place was needed for us women — that’s for sure. I’ve had people question my ability to do the job as a woman, but I don’t let it get to me,” she said.
Many women are all about fighting gender stereotypes, and inspiring stories come up every day online. An excellent example is Edine, a young woman who stopped removing facial hair and shared how it has changed her life with the world.

These pictures caused the people to even question Foster’s age! 😳🤭The 60-year-old actress looks like this when she doesn’t wear makeup or filters! 🤯😯
Everyone was shocked by Jodie Foster’s current appearance. The talented actress was captured on camera by photographers who seized the opportunity to catch the popular movie star unaltered by makeup, filters, or retouching.
She belongs to the group of movie stars who don’t see age as anything more than a number and who embrace their natural selves without having to visit beauticians and cosmetologists too soon.
Recently, camera lenses have photographed the gifted movie actress unretouched and without makeup. Her natural appearance, devoid of makeup, amazed everyone.
“It’s hard to believe that this is actually her!,” “Please don’t confuse unkemptness with embracing natural beauty!”,” “A lady should always take care of herself regardless of age,” and “She should take some time for herself too!”
We look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
