Weaponized Incompetence: When Men Pretend They Can’t Help

Send us a text

Ever feel like you're managing your household, your partner, and your own life while someone else conveniently “forgets” how to do basic tasks? That’s not an accident—it’s weaponized incompetence, and it’s time we called it out.

In this fire starter of an episode, feminist life coach and psychotherapist Kelly Hint breaks down the cultural epidemic of men pretending to be helpless to avoid responsibility. From holiday planning to household chores to the invisible weight of emotional labor, Kelly names the behavior, exposes the patterns, and gives you concrete, no-BS strategies to reclaim your time, your energy, and your damn dignity.

We’re not here to manage grown adults. We’re here to dismantle patriarchal conditioning—one passive-aggressive vacuum job at a time.

✨ Learn how to:

* Spot weaponized incompetence in action

* Set unapologetic boundaries

* Redistribute labor without guilt

* Stop internalizing gaslighting tactics

* Take back your mental and emotional bandwidth

Plus, a quote from bell hooks to fuel your feminist fire and a challenge to start shifting the balance today.

If you’re done doing it all and ready to start expecting more—this one’s for you.
