OK, you who are saying laundry is my job anyway and my husband shouldn't be doing it at all because he's a man have convinced me to have this thread closed.

EXACTLY my point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some men do this on purpose!

Paidiske gets it. :) Again, I am not talking about actually BEING incompetent at a certain chore. I am talking about PRETENDING to be incompetent at it, so you can get out of doing it.

"The only way it gets hung properly is if I do it myself." Yes, and my contention is that this is exactly the goal. They don't want to do it, so they keep messing it up, and keep messing it up, and keep messing it up, no matter how long it takes, until we finally throw our hands up in the air...

^^It does help, thanks. Merely starting this thread helped, as I vented and now don't feel such a need to go after him.

NOTE: Please understand that weaponized incompetence is NOT "I don't know how to do this task," or "I don't know how to do it as well as you do." Weaponized incompetence is "I'm pretending I don't understand how to do this task, in the hopes that you'll give up on me and do it yourself, and then...

I work part-time as a CNA. Even getting this far with it has been a miracle, since I was disabled in a car accident some time ago, and only in recent years have I been able to walk without a cane. I tried a full-time position, and that did not at all work out for me. I am now on-call, required...

I'd rather not get into straining at a gnat with the precise acceptability of skirt lengths. Not against continuing the discussion further, but I don't have time at the moment.

When I was in college majoring in business, the same misunderstanding was common. Every Wednesday was professional dress day, and we were supposed to dress according to our major. Those studying culinary arts wore their chef uniform, etc. This was the 1980s, so for me as a business major, that...

I missed this part: Tight mini skirts and crop tops at a funeral? Especially in the middle of winter? Of course I thought it was inappropriate, and so did most people in attendance. Even not considering modesty, it was 20 F degrees, -6 C for those outside the US. The teetering high heels are...

Yes, I do feel that these outfits are inappropriate to wear in public. Nightwear is for wearing at home. Underwear is for wearing under one's clothing. That's why it's called underwear. Sometimes the fabric matters more than the length. How does it hang? Is it clingy and/or easily seen...

On the dress in varying lengths, any of those lengths can be suggestive, and any of them can be modest. It depends more on the styling than on the length alone. By styling, I mean whatever else the woman is wearing with the dress. I actually do have one that's pretty short, but I treat it more...

LOL, it was a disaster. Long behind me now, thank God.

I have. That's possible. Yes. From the world; that's true. Not from within any church I have attended. Although a former in-law from a different church had me pegged as a loose, immoral, ungodly woman for reasons only she knew. I must admit I found it interesting to picture a woman wearing a...

In my high school English class, a group of students in the class who outright adored our male teacher bought him a gag gift toward the end of the year. It was a bra, size 52DD. Very large, very cumbersome. Looked almost like a pony's harness. They filled it with messages of appreciation written...

You make good points. Sure, Jenny might be in danger when out in the world, if she's very different from the others. Sure, they're going to heap abuse on her, and even accuse her of motives she doesn't actually have. "You're so self-righteous, Miss High and Mighty, you think you're better than...

Zeroing in on this part to raise a question. In parts of the inner city, male and female alike feel a need to fit in, because standing out puts them in danger. Suppose (name chosen at random) Jenny walks around in her neighborhood, the only one wearing a tasteful knee-length skirt, a buttoned...

I had to do a little research to learn the reason for the deliberate misspelling. It is a pun connected to the modern slang term “riz” which is short for “charisma.” They’re saying Jesus has charisma, and He has risen. Many Christians are not thrilled with the shirts, and I see why. The art...

OK, today for the first time I have encountered discussion about the “keep sweet voice,” as in the childlike whisper that supposedly all evangelical Christian wives, youth pastors, etc. are trained to use. The media is eating Katie Britt for lunch over it, and they also point to Michelle Duggar...

MOD HAT ON We have cleaned up the thread and it is now reopened. Please stick to the topic and be careful about sidebars and bunny trails. Thank you. MOD HAT OFF
