          Weaponized incompetence was a term created to shame partners for not being able to correctly preform household tasks that are considered “simple”

          Like a husband not doing the laundry right just so the wife will do it instead.

              I don’t really understand why people reacted negatively to this. It’s a known thing that people do and other people abuse in one way or another.

            I have conflicting interpretations of those 2 paragraphs. Does the woman use it to shame the man? Or does the man use it to not have to do the task?

              The original meaning was that the man was using it to not have to do the task.

              Effectively it’s both.
