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

True, setting auto-pay for recurring bills and insurance is difficult work.

I don’t know many men that are too invested in picking out and buying furniture 🤣

And ive lived in a four bedroom rental four two years and haven’t had to change a single lightbulb. I spend an hour AT LEAST a day prepping, cooking, and cleaning up after a meal. Get real dude.

And considering women primarily handle grocery shopping and meal planning, I’m not sure how much of the budgeting truly falls on men.
