[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It strikes me that he is struggling with this supposed incompetence in "pink" areas; in other words, tasks that misogyny has historically relegated to women -- cleaning and child care. I say supposed because I think I agree with you; that he likely just doesn't want to do it.

I don't know what you do about this. It has got to be hella frustrating. [/quote]

OP here and yes, this is a pattern with him. Sometimes he'll even vocalize it like "ugh this isn't very manly" if he's doing something he thinks of as feminine. We've talked about it and he knows this attitude is toxic and sets a bad example for the kids. I think the feigned is something he may have developed in response to this, like he wants to say "ugh no that's a woman's job" but knows that's bad so instead he's like "huh, too hard, I can't figure it out."[/quote]

Y[b]ou really buried the lede here.[/quote][/b]

you are correct.  But not odd for DCUm. Invariably, theOP posts\ just sufficient facts to to get the self-affirming message back that they want.  Blah blah blah.  Then around page 10 you discover that the situation is nothing like that described initially by OP.  Which is why I have to get off this site becuase it is an extreme waste of time.  [/quote]
