    Smarticle - Weaponized incompetence or just plain lazy

    Today we talk about the concept of weaponized incompetence in relationships, particularly focusing on how men sometimes exhibit learned helplessness to avoid tasks, leading their partners to take on more responsibilities. The author submits the idea that one partner (a man) feigns ineptitude to shirk responsibilities, leaving the other partner to shoulder extra tasks. Gender roles, societal expectations, and the evolving dynamics of male-female relationships are discussed, highlighting the impact of learned helplessness on workload distribution. Larry say that men and women are lions.

Funny and perfect for quick trips in the car

A great listen for quick trips to the store and dropping kids off to activities. I have listened to every episode since finding them a few months back.

Awesome idea for a podcast

I saw these guys on TikTok and got hooked pretty fast. I’m on the younger side but listening to these guys talk about articles can help me understand the topics pretty easily. Can also be pretty funny at times and overall a great podcast
