    The man literally needs the motivational tool of a 5 year old to learn to put down the toilet seat or otherwise contribute around the house.

    I bet you dollars to donuts he considers “nagging” to be asking him anything that he’d have to leave the couch for.

          I actually try to close the entire thing, lid included. Less poop particles when you flush, and erryone gotta work in this household. True equality.

        Alright, I’m sure the big boy that needs a sticker chart for washing the dishes and taking care of his children is the mature one in the relationship, you right, she’s probably in the wrong here.

          You assume he “needs” a sticker chart when just as easily the wife could be trying to get him to do all of it instead of his share. That’s your bias showing.

          Plus this inhumane and soul destroying regardless.

          Who the fuck makes a sticker chart with BJs and naked hula dances?

              That’s cool but has nothing to do with this, so unfortunately I don’t have any studies prepared for you to learn from.

                1. We’ve established that the task of maintaining on a household typically falls on women in our society.
                2. We have an example here of a sticker chart being used to encourage a man to take care of his child.
                3. You’re saying I’m biased for thinking that the man needs this chart.

                Nah, bruh, I’m just looking at the data and drawing conclusions.

                Sure, there are exceptions, but when we lack any other indicators of exceptions, it’s safe to assume societal roles carry over. Making any other assumption is ironically letting YOUR personal biases show.

                If I tell you 7/10 balls in a box are red, 3/10 are blue, and ask you to guess the color of a ball I’m grabbing from the box, what’re you going to guess? Red.

                I’m pretty sure this sticker chart is fake anyways, but it’s the reaction of folks to this that’s surprising.

                  No you’re dishonestly ignoring all the content of the image and pushing some random stats in a vacuum.

                  I could care less about those stats, I have eyes.

                  Obviously this is fake, but it’s fun to argue.

                    What am I ignoring?

                    I could care less about those stats, I have eyes.

                    Okay if we’re just going to pick and choose what context we ignore when interpreting what we see then there’s no real point in having a conversation.
