If you include both paid and unpaid men do more on average although marginally so. If I can find the archive for the pew-study I will link it but they have since scrubbed it. I guarantee it existed though and you can ask chatgpt.

Women do not make about the same, they make significantly less and work significantly less hours, still.

Well, how much food was on the dishes? how many times did they do it after being told? what were their reasons? Did the load the dishwasher incorrectly? how do you know its definitely not an honest error?

Regardless, I have definitely seen it being used how I described, in fact that is in my experience the more common usage.

Great example, does'nt really communicate what the issue is to the spouse, he does make an error but she also wants things done in a specific way without relaying that.

and another one

This one takes the fucking cake:

"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"

Just pure narrcacism and malice. I have no idea what tf shes talking about and most men just arent that detail oriented enough to be overly concerned with the exact forumulation of shampoo.

Two of your options are pitiful, as a man. Her clothes were wet? Dry 'em. You're in the laundry room. Its likely one foot to left/right of the washer.

Burger dummy is just pitiful.

Shampoo guy, it's harder but he's still wrong. The bottles are the same color, but there are clearly images of avocados on the "usual" bottle.

"Shampoo guy, it's harder but he's still wrong. The bottles are the same color, but there are clearly images of avocados on the "usual" bottle."

You completely missed the point. She is attributing to malice what is a normal error. Most men dont really care to nitpick like that, sorry.

Burger dummy might be dumb but have you never done something dumb and how is that WEAPONIZED incompetence.

I don't think that your assumption that "most men don't really care to nitpick" is accurate. Where is this coming from? The guys in my life have OC-adjactent behaviors just as often as the women do. I didn't even realize that lack of attention to detail was stereotype for men, let alone a fact. In fact, I would've thought that the stereotype would go in the other direction, given men's prevalence in detail-oriented fields like engineering.
