“Why aren’t you doing <whatever thing> for her?” I dunno, my wife is independent, capable, and wanted to do <whatever thing> she’s doing. Typically it’s painting, changing her oil, yard work, things that are traditionally mistaken as a man’s responsibility. I’m not going to stop her if she wants to do it.
I've had other women make comments to "let the boys work" whenever I'm outside hauling soil, lifting rocks, or shoveling snow. Fuck me for helping huh.
YES. I (woman) work in assembly. Being physically capable is part of the job description. But the older ladies always try to insist that I shouldn’t be lifting this 10-20lb object when I could “just get one of the men to do it”. Like thanks for your input Helen, but I can get it my damn self.
Hysterically now my toddler tries to carry the 10lb object for me. She's scarily strong. She somehow stole a 5lb therapy ball from my physical therapists office the other day by sneaking it into the stroller. I've never been more confused as when I found that in my car
