Mechanical aptitude is a skill like anything else. Most people can learn some of it, and others are very good at it.
You might not believe the list of things that are extremely difficult for me, or down right impossible. I have overcompensated all of my life with my speaking, writing, organizational, and social skills.
Please don't get offended but I want help. What i am hearing sounds to me a lot like math anxiety, women are often conditioned that they can't do mechanical things or mathematical things so they don't really apply themselves. When I said look at, the goal isn't to memorize it, it's to reason in your mind how it works. I never memorize anything scientific, I learn concepts that let me reason what I need when I need it.
