Your dad never dropped you off & helped you with your homework? Your mom fixed cupboards, did electrical work, plumbing & washed cars at your house?

Mina may I please be excused from this part of the conversation because my mom didn’t cook unless she wanted to.

Sizwe the conversation is not about your experiences only. My mum never cooked, I also have a helper I never do much. We are also looking beyond Africa. What do you mean women get pregnant, earn more, raise kids (biologically we do more), clean if helpers are not there

If my man had to fix the cupboards as often as I have to cook, do laundry, help kids with their homework.... he wouldn't really by fixing those cupboards, now would he? He'd be a terrible handyman.

Also feels like a very nostalgic argument, because who is still doing that? Dan Connor? Maybe, maybe, fixing small shit and washing the car, if the family is not living in a city, but electrical work and plumbing? What percentage of men is really doing that?

My dad is such a spectacular failure he did none of that. My married single mom did everything including paid employment. Just wanted it noted in the void. 😂 @SizweDhlomo

Also half of the shit their gender is useful for can be found in a 2 min YouTube video

Men do not even fix things in the home, it was always electricians and plumbers and carpenters

In fact, the "men's chores" are so sporadic that they get turned into hobbies.

They act like the cupboard breaks everyday and that cooking is optional
