Ways men opt out of housework and childcare by “helping out”

• take on weekly or monthly tasks, and think it’s equal to their wives daily tasks (even when wives also have weekly and monthly tasks)
• take on tasks that require very little time or hard labor, like mowing the lawn.
• take on a “project” that could be fixed by a professional, and work on it little by little but never really finish
• create chores for their children, i.e. delegate rather than doing
• do housework only in tandem, i.e. never on their own or without help.
  
• volunteer on their own for some disliked task. For example, cleaning the toilets without asking. unfortunately, this tends to be seen as very loving and exceptional. Often it will be used as an excuse not to do anything else
  
• enthusiastically volunteer to do things often, then conveniently “forget”, “make plans”, or have some sort of weird parameter to get started. When wife or child does it instead, claim they were going to do it, really!
• pick a jurisdiction they already enjoy, like “take care of dog” or “the yard”
  
• do something really badly, so that someone else has to do it for them anyway afterwards
• “tidy up” a mess they made
  
• pick up or organize clutter, however the often stressful, emotional, and time consuming task of de-cluttering is left undone or for someone else
• meticulous keep clean a space that is only theirs, i.e. their study, their garage.
• create tasks that aren’t needed, like “organize the toolbox” or “rearrange the bookshelf”
• do tasks that require prep work that their wives will do for them (i.e. grilling the food, but not planning, purchasing, seasoning or preparing the sides)
• take control of “finances” but do very little, perhaps the taxes. this is also used as a way to control their wives often
• use their time with their children to play or dole out discipline/lessons, but very little time on feeding/bathing/dressing or organizing their lives. this is also away men can create a “fun parent/mean parent” dynamic
• make lists of what needs to get done, discuss what needs to get done with their wives, act very invested in the housework, take on a “manager” role in the housework, but do very little of it
• tell wives that what little is done in the house, by either of them, is “enough” and that he “doesn’t care” what the house looks like (this is a l i e). i.e. doing little and then making an emotional appeal that it’s fine, co-opting the emotional labor his wife does for him, but actually it’s very manipulative
• getting involved with children’s after school activities, i.e. being a coach, organizing a concert, etc. often a thing he already enjoys. often does very little of the organizing/plan making. often makes little effort to create time for his wife’s personal interests

pay attention to your fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, boyfriends, husbands actions. you’ll start to see these constantly

draw stick figures. sing off key. write bad poems. sew ugly clothes. run slowly. flirt clumisly. play video games on easy. you do not need to be good at something to enjoy the act. talent is overrated. do things you like doing. it’s ok to suck

jesus christ yall dont play video games on easy oh my god

You never play a video game on easy no matter how hard it is to get through.

my least favorite thing that happens on this post is people who support it- except when it comes to the thing they’re good at
gamers say “never play on easy”
artists say “sing off key but for the love of god no stick figures”
singers say “all this but if you can’t sing keep your mouth shut”
you know what? i know your type. you’re all jerks & you’re not fun to be around.
have fun jacking off to the concept of superiority at your wet blanket convention. i’ll be over here actually enjoying myself
