On todays epsiode we are finally back in person! We are so excited to be in the same room with one another! Today we talk about this idea of “weaponized incompetence” which is when someone who pretends they didn’t know how to do something when in fact, they do. A lot of times this is done by men. Men pretend they don’t know how to do chores or go to the grocery store or cook dinner simply so they don’t have to, and there’s no possible way they could learn. We’re tired of the idea that it’s “sexy” for a man to do basic chores around the house, so we’re praising them for doing the bare minimum. We would like to get passed this and stop taking care of men their whole lives so that we can stop being so exhausted.
This is something that’s been going on forever. It goes back to how a lot of men are raised with not a lot expected out of them where as women are expected to be care takers. Of course we know it’s not all men. But it’s enough.
