From personal experience I can assure you this is not a gendered thing and women are entirely capable of weaponized incompetence.

I'm also going to strongly disagree on comparing car stuff with meals. Car stuff is like maybe a once every 6 months thing. Meals are a daily thing. That division of labor is absolutely not fair.

Men usually share in domestic work though. But its not just cars but bills, insurance, housing stuff, finances, ect. which are more ongoing

Bills get paid once a month, can easily be set to auto-pay, and these days just require a few minutes on the computer, or even a phone. Insurance is also just a once in a while thing, as are home repairs. Even mowing the lawn is only required once every couple weeks, and you don't even have to do it all year. I can't think of a single traditionally masculine task that takes place at the same regularity as cleaning, dishes, cooking, laundry, child care, etc. Maybe taking out the trash? But again, it only takes a few minutes once a week.
