Also have you noticed the traditional skills that men are supposed to have are mostly all things that only come up for specific situations, like changing a tire when the tire goes out, fixing the house when it needs to be fixed, fixing the car when it wonโt work, and the traditional skills expected of women are things that have to be done everyday and always, like doing the dishes, cooking, and taking care of children.
Menโs work is a solution to a problem and when itโs done itโs done. Womenโs work is a never-ending tide of tasks that must be accomplished every day.
And the practical result of this is that when a woman doesnโt know how to change a tire or un-clog a pipe, sheโs belittled for this apparently gaping chasm in her knowledge, despite the fact that you can go years on end without encountering some of these supposedly-essential skills - while (traditionally) nothing is ever said of men who canโt cook or donโt know how to clean their own clothes, despite having been fully immersed in both since their first day on this earth.
