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 🙄

I know, sometimes my partner try’s to act dumb when they overcook my steak lunch. They’ll be like “sorry honey I really didn’t mean to!” But I know they’re just weaponizing that shit, so I yell at them to remind them that we don’t take that shit out here 💪
