'Oh no my boyfriend can't make phone calls himself, I have to phone everyone'
'Of course I do all the ironing, he wouldn't know how to switch it on'
'Cook dinner, he can't even phone for a takeaway'
And there are so many more examples of this. I seriously hope that this is just women trying to make themselves sound better, but if it is then what exactly are they boasting about 'my boyfriend/husband is pretty much incompetent'
Now of course they'll be some that will say 'but Ben, you live on your own, you have to do all of these things yourself'. Oh, ok, so that's why so many men, who live alone, seem to rely on their mums to do their washing and shopping etc for them
Seriously, why are women accepting and even excusing this behaviour, laughing saying 'all men are the same, see what we have to put up with'
Now I accept that there are households where one person works full time and the other (generally the female) does not, so there may be an expectation that they would handle the housework etc. To be honest though, if you've ever tried to look after multiple children all day, a day in the office will feel like a holiday.
If you are a young man and you cannot iron your own shirt, you should be ashamed
If you cannot feed yourself for a couple of days, without help, you should be ashamed
And if you think that a woman's place is to run around after you, and basically be your mother, you need to take a long hard look at yourself
