They are what to do what?

Weaponized incompetence was a term created to shame partners for not being able to correctly preform household tasks that are considered “simple”

Like a husband not doing the laundry right just so the wife will do it instead.

I don’t really understand why people reacted negatively to this. It’s a known thing that people do and other people abuse in one way or another.

I have conflicting interpretations of those 2 paragraphs. Does the woman use it to shame the man? Or does the man use it to not have to do the task?

The original meaning was that the man was using it to not have to do the task.

Effectively it’s both.

I keep trying it but I live alone so I end up doing tasks poorly then have to do them correctly myself.

Nonpolitical Twitter

!nonpoliticaltwitter@civilloquy.com

Create post

For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.

Rules
  1. Again, no politics.
  2. No Lemmy posts. You’re already on a Lemmy instance. There’s no need to screenshot it and post it here.
  3. No Reddit posts. That’s too similar to Lemmy.
  4. The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
  5. Use correct cropping. Don’t have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don’t crop out the date or author.
  6. No doxxing. Again, don’t crop out the author’s name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
  7. Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.

We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.
