Today we talk about the concept of weaponized incompetence in relationships, particularly focusing on how men sometimes exhibit learned helplessness to avoid tasks, leading their partners to take on more responsibilities. The author submits the idea that one partner (a man) feigns ineptitude to shirk responsibilities, leaving the other partner to shoulder extra tasks. Gender roles, societal expectations, and the evolving dynamics of male-female relationships are discussed, highlighting the impact of learned helplessness on workload distribution. Larry say that men and women are lions.

I’m a boyfriend who uses weaponised incompetence. Can I change?
