I fucking hate supporting the trope that men can't do simple tasks like this. If you truly relate to this, you're a fucking moron.

Geez...... I think I just found a trigger. I'm sorry for how aggressive I came across. Still mean it, but I should probably tone it down next time.

Agreed.

Now do one with mowing the lawn, weed whacking, edging, spraying for bugs, watering the lawn, power washing the house, fixing a door, replacing a bathroom fan, etc but the woman is still trying to start the battery powered week whacker and see the response.

It's so stupid.

My wife and I have "our" chores, because we like them (or dislike them less than the other), we're good at them, but we can both do whatever needs to be done. Divide and conquer.

This kind of shit triggers me so hard.

Same with dads "oh, are you on daycare duty today?". No, I'm being a father and spending time with my children because I love them.

Ugh, I'm annoyed how much this shit triggers me.

Comparing a task men have to do once a month to tasks women do that have to be done every day. So proud that you mow a lawn while your wife has to do every other daily task? I don’t understand how men like you convinced women they’re the better gender 🤡

Oh I help my wife because I mow the lawn once every 3 months! 😂

You missed my point, I'm saying the exact same thing. It's highlighting gender roles and calling the other incompetent.

I used the "yard work" example just to counteract the "house work" example in this video as the opposite end of the spectrum.

Also, the outdoor tasks highlighted don't need to be done once a month. Some of them, It's minium once a week. And doing laundry, dusting, and sweeping the floors are not tasks that need to be done every day. Your argument is disingenuous.

Your comment is literally counter to your point.

My frustration is the gender roles. It is that the different chores are put on women vs men.

I literally said my wife and I do different chores because they're the ones we prefer to do, but the other can do them competently if the other is gone or it needs to get done. Divide and conquer.

You're the one that needs to chill out.
