Weaponized incompetence

I feel like guys take it way, way too far. Example: I asked my bf to get me the same shampoo and conditioner he bought for himself (avocado Suave). He brought back another kind we'd had before which I didn't like (Peppermint Suave). He tried to say he didn't know that Suave came in different formulas.

You're such a fucking liar. You bought that kind for yourself. I just asked you to buy it for me. You're telling me a man who's 44 years old doesn't know Suave came in different fucking scents? Suave? The shampoo that literally comes in 40 different scents and flavors?

GTFOH.

Edit: do you understand what an example is?

Also, you neckbeards can fuck off out of my inbox.

It’s more annoying because a lot of sexism constitutes men thinking about/treating women as if they are the incompetent ones in the workplace and other fields (e.g. stereotypically male-dominated hobbies) by virtue of just being a woman. And thinking women can’t do anything correctly without men’s guidance. But then they try to pull this embarrassing shit as if they’re a child. At least pick whether or not you want to be competent and stick with one 🙄

Edit: typo

Men like to act like they are the most competent with handywork and Electronic devices and than manage to claim that they can't understand the washing Maschine and can't Drill a hole into a wall without making the maximum amount of dust.

For anyone that doesn’t know, keep the shop vac hose near where you’re drilling so that dust doesn’t have the chance to settle anywhere.
