weaponized incompetence tiktok: bimbocore for men (video essay)

Fiji and Autumn check in this week with reading a book, back with my man, puzzles, love is blind, the bachelor, hating ass bitches, internet death threats, crying in public, and hot men in the elevator.

Next, we dive into this week’s topic: weaponized incompetence.

Is weaponized incompetence intentional? Are the TikTok trends really funny? Do moms enable their sons to be man children? How do we get men to learn how to care for their own children??? How do women contribute to the problem?

We’re talking: the domestic labor gap, learned helplessness, our family experiences, neglect, grocery shopping, the ketchup on counter challenge, the pads with wings challenge, weaponized incompetence when it comes to childcare, nagging wives, lazy husbands, how this a men’s issue, the importance of being reliable, listener polls, listener stories, and more!👀
