Today, my partner, who took a week off work to play video games, asked me if I was going to do the grocery shopping.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
There aren’t many dragons around here. We’re too quiet to attract the attention of bad guys. However, I both do laundry and load the dishwasher. I’m also the cook. Been doing this since well before I retired. One of my sociology students actually told me it was “gay.”
Solution, get you a girl that’s messier than you. My house is a shit hole, but we are still in love.
sexism intensifies
Fuck washing dishes. That is why we invented dishwashers
Sorry to be like this but im sure an argument like this would be thrown your way if this was posted in a big enough room.
Isn’t this how we function evolutionarily? Like in a hunter and gatherers society, men were predominantly the ones required to do “one-hit” labour like hunting, whereas women were predominantly the ones doing “continual” labour like gathering food.
This also reflects in our bodies in many ways like our risk tolerance and physiological stuff. There are 2 types of muscles in human body, one that are needed for quick one-off work and other that are good for continual work. And men have the “one-hit” type more and women the other type. Afaik, this also shows up in endurance training and strength training. Men are generally more capable in strength one, while women are more capable in endurance.
So going by the principle of “to each acc to their capability, to each acc to their need”, it would mean that women should do more of folding sheets while men should do more “dragon killing”
Women weren’t really just gathers. The Hunter-Gatherer isn’t exactly right.
Men are hunters, women are gatherers. That was the assumption. A new study upends it.
Look, to all you fellow men out there, includes you little shit gen z’s that think women are possessions. JUST FUCKING HELP LOAD DISHES AND FOLD LAUNDRY. Its easy, helps your partner and just makes you a better human.
Yeeeeeaaaah, comments like this was exactly why i said sorry first. Help your partners folks!
It is a myth, that men were the only ones hunting, so maybe it needs a different explanation.
Also one of the defining traits of our species is our propensity to try varied means of social organization. To act like hunter gatherer H. sapiens were all modeling their societies the same way in regards to gendered division of labor flies in the face of what has been observed in the historical and archeological records.
The Dawn of Everything goes heavily into this and is a fascinating book
This is the third paragraph from the article you provided “Researchers found the female body was better suited for endurance activity…”
Which is what my explanation is based on
Humans were persistence hunters which requires endurance. Lots of strength isn’t really necessary when the prey has exhausted itself.
Im not gonna continue further, already made too many people “angry”. Somehow this convo became about humans being hunters and what not. And not the original conversation about dishes and dragons.
My whole point was about women having different physiology than men. Please fight the scientists who are researching this, not me.
Classic manbaby David
At least when you kill bad guys and dragons, they stay dead. The trouble with folding dishes and washing clothes is that it keeps needing to be done.
My story’s infinite. Like the laundry, it’s infinite, it doesn’t rest.
Welcome to being human, adulthood and cleaning up after yourself.
I refuse.
Ok incel
What a comeback, you’re such a good boy! Look at you, well trained and shit.
And even novice necromancers can only raise a body once according to the rules I’ve made up just now
And more expirence necromancers can raise bodies more times, but eventually they’ll get discouraged
Sisyphus, that bastard with his tasks!
And you cant defeat that boss, no no, that boss is well beyond epic tier and you have to game the system to defeat him.
Which… women pick up. Because it happens more than enough.
this is probably what meat loaf meant when he said he won’t do that
Phenomenal
Hahahahahahahah
It’s kinda nice if you consider the electrical box or the unmowed lawn as a dragon.
Those aren’t regularly serviced like eating several times a day and wiping ass though
Folding laundry is basically like fighting a dragon. These damn fitted sheets, man.
But I gotta do what I gotta do. These dragons aren’t gonna fight themselves.
Do adults really not know how to find fitted sheets? You fold it basically like a regular sheet, but tuck the corners inside each other.
fitted sheets you say ? this is why i have a gf /s
Oh… Finally I understand the meaning of the english “fitted sheet”. Thank you stranger!
Or you can do the parachute fold. And then fold it regular after it’s a tube
I prefer the “fold it haphazardly, stuff it in the drawer, and I don’t care if it’s wrinkled when it goes on the bed next time” method, myself.
Whenever I tuck the corners into each other I end up with a lumpy irregular polygon which can’t be folded neatly like flat sheets
If you pull up the fitted part, you can establish parallel sides so you can form it into a rectangle that can be folded neatly
“Pull up” like three dimensionally? I do the best I can to square the blob up but always end up with too much fabric on the fitted corner to get a clean neat fold.
I’m the designated one who “knows how to fold fitted sheets” in our household btw 🤣
Yes, three dimensionally. Pull it up, and make a fold from the sewn point of the fitted corner parallel to one folded edge, and then the other edge likewise parallel to the remaining side. Now that you have a nice rectangle, lay the bunched portion down as flat as you can, and continue folding. Ta-dah.
I’ve learned how; can’t speak for everyone though. But they’re the ones that take the longest time due to the intricacy.
I’m also very meticulous about folding laundry, so everything fits nice and tidy in the linen closet.
I would strongly prefer if you specifically never interacted with any of my posts.
You can block them so you don’t have to see it.
If what they’re doing is egregious, against community or instance rules, stalking, harassing, etc you can report them which notifies the mods of the community the post or comment is in, the admins of the instance of the community the post or comment is in, and the admins of the user’s instance.
Edit: Found the context- https://lemmy.world/comment/23272922
If you feel that he implied you were a pedophile, and he disagrees, then fucking report it to mods/admins and let them sort it. I’m not seeing anything but bog standard responses to some of your posts that you respond to with your little copy pasted message. I could understand if they kept making references to it, but I don’t see where it’s been brought up where you didn’t.
Just report and block and move on with your life.
That’s not the full context. That’s just their version.
Blocking still allows him to see and comment on my posts, I just wont know. Thats not a solution I’m looking for. There isn’t an action a mod could take that I’d be happy with. He doesn’t deserve a ban or anything. He can say what he wants I’m fine with that. To be completely clear he never said directly “you are a pedophile” I just said I wasn’t and he said he doesn’t believe me because I troll in shitpost and meme. He thinks that because I troll and don’t act seriously in non serious communities I’m “disgusting” and “childish”. Along with plenty of other negative adjectives. Then tries to lecture me for my horrible evil behavior that hurts everyone on Lemmy. That’s fine and completely within his rights to feel and say. These are the ramifications of my actions, which is okay. Its the pedo shit that really actually bothers me. So, I’m just gonna keep doing this every time he comments on my posts, which seems to be like 9/10 posts. Sorry if it’s a recurring comment you have to scroll by but this is how I’m dealing with this one. Appreciate ya for trying to help but I’m just mad and petty rn. I would leave lemmy before choosing to block someone like that, with the way blocks work at least. By the way the trolling he’s disgusted by and hurts everyone is essentially, someone saying “this meme is sexist” and me responding “pretty sure you’re the sexist”.
For the record: I do not believe you’re a pedophile.
I do appreciate that
Glad to straighten that out given your history.
You’re also a very frequent poster on /memes, so you’re gone live with me interacting with the posts and that’s that.
You’re learning why being a troll can be fun. You’re welcome brother.
I’m not trolling though, I’m just participating in the community, which is my right. 🤷♂️
You don’t just “act not seriously”, you are actively being a prick. You called me sexist for calling out your sexist meme, and your said with no basis that you think I don’t want to see women in memes.
Then you were a dick to everyone talking to you.
You aren’t just “being silly” like you claimed.
Let’s get the full story from both sides. You’re no saint.
Sounds like I told the full story then lmao. I even included the part your referencing. You genuinely believe that me saying essentially “no you” to criticism in a meme post isn’t just being silly in a place based on being silly? People said a thing and I’d say “thats not true” or “classic sexist” dumb shit like that. This is the disgusting hurtful evil trolling behavior that you’re captain America shield must defend everyone from. You keep clutching those pearls so hard your necklace is gonna break brother.
No, that wasn’t the only thing. You were being a dick towards everyone in those comments.
That’s not how any of this works.
Terribly sorry, I can’t help with this.
Seems like a strong overreaction, any additional context to share?
The contract you were provided is not the full context, but just their version of what happened.

How often will you ever fight a dragon? Once, maybe?
Fuck folding sheets because someone else wants it done, 3 times a week for the next 40 years.
Not even close to being the same.
3 times a week… you’re showing your relationship issues a bit there by not knowing how basic human chores work.
You sure are judgy in this comment section
Who is washing sheets 3 times a week? I can see once a week, but more than that is too much.
I mean, if I had to fight a dragon, it definitely wouldn’t happen more than once
I would also fold clothes and wash dishes for her.
For you.
For both of you.
It’s not ‘for her’
She’s not your mommy manager.
I beg to differ. I would not fold clothes for me. All of my clothes are in a storage tub unfolded. I’d do it for someone I care about though. I like the sound of mommy manager.
Flight of the Conchords had a song about it.

This guy won an Oscar BTW.
Found her husband?
