    If I (guy) let my wife do the shopping we'd be living on cottage cheese and toaster strudels.

    What's with you speaking about the things you "let" your wife do? And with you making her out to be a dimwit incapable of grocery shopping? Your comment reeks of misogyny and male superiority and supremacy.

      seriously? are you here to learn, or wave your peen around? in a sexist world, you saying you 'let' your wife do something occurs in context with patriarchal domination of women and is therefore not neutral value. since women lack the power and status to oppress men as a class at the same level as men oppress women, 'misandry' therefore CANNOT exist in this equation.
      you could've avoided coming across as a misogynist just by using different language. what you say and how you say it matters in these spaces. THINK.

      but fuck, why am I allowing a man to bumble his way into being spoonfed, like you don't do that enough everywhere else all of the time.

      I didn't really want to get into a fight. Apologies.
