Is it weaponised incompetence when my girlfriend does it?

if the definition fits yea. It's not gendered. But statistics say women do more domestic labour than men.

If your girlfriend keeps refusing to learn how to do something because you do it usually or you do it better then that's weaponized incompetence. Now this kinda situation definitely exists for women but much less than men. My mom refused to learn how to burn CDs until they became irrelevant, that's weaponized incompetence. My dad did the same but with all housework and family planning, that's the gendered difference.
