The reason people tend to think it’s gendered is that an awful lot of comedians make jokes about how they manage to make their wives or girlfriends do more than their share by pretending to be idiots. One comic bragged about how he offered to do the grocery shopping, and his wife all but panicked. “NO! All you do is text me questions the whole time. I’ll do it.” The comedian smugly concludes, “Husband level: Expert.”

Which I don’t consider funny.

I supported and quoted the post in order to clarify that it’s deliberate, not just ignorance on how to do things. The “ignorance” is entirely feigned. I didn’t think it was being said that all men do this, and no woman ever does. I think it was being said that statistically it’s more likely to be a man. But not really typically. More like stereotypically.
