weaponised incompetence on tiktok is awful.

 Have you ever been in a situation where you asked someone to do something for you but realised that you should've done it yourself? You ask for a simple task to be completed and you are met with the task being half-assed or done completely wrong; it's not because the person is incapable of doing it, they just don't want to do it. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being a little bit lazy sometimes, but most people I'd like to think don't want to be in a relationship where they're dating essentially a toddler stuck in a grown-up's body. Or have to put up with someone's inability to have common courtesy for others. 
This is where weaponised incompetence comes in. 
Now what does weaponised incompetence actually entail? It's an act that takes place most commonly in romantic relationships where a partner feels that because they are with a woman, she is expected to take on all domestic responsibilities in the household. When they are asked to do a simple task they purposefully screw it up so that they are never asked to do a task ever again. It's a phenomenon that tiktok has recently discovered making people more aware of the fact that this is a real thing that exists and annoys many women.
 It is easy to do something wrong so people feel the need to do the task themself, but there is no learning opportunity in being lazy and using weaponised incompetence in a relationship is lazy and selfish. You shouldn't act like an animal or a toddler as a grown adult in the house you live in and with your partner. It is not down to the woman to do every domestic task in the household just because she is a woman. If women should revert back to these standards then these men should do the same instead of lazing around on their gaming consoles all day or ignoring basic responsibilities like throwing their scraps in the bin.

It is not down to the woman to clean up after her husband or do every domestic duty in the house, this is not 1930 this is the 21st century. There is no excuse for this behaviour, we shouldn't infantilise or excuse these men's behaviour because then it will just continue. If your partner does a task incorrectly over and over, they know you'll eventually give in and just do it yourself, meaning they do not have to do it ever again. Acting like a toddler or like a mama's boy, is not it. Just because a man marries a woman doesn't mean she is his servant or personal cleaner for the rest of his life. To be quite honest, I don't care if the man pays all of the bills. So many people do that every day and they don't get rewarded because they are single and have to do it themselves anyway, they still have to clean their kitchen after cooking so why is it any different in a relationship? 

Many men have the audacity to call women lazy for not doing "her job" but then act and treat their wives like this.
