Some men truly seem to believe that the world revolves around them. These “God’s gifts to women” exist in a golden bubble, where household chores, common courtesy, and even common sense don’t apply to them.
There are grown men who are able to hold down a job, drive a pick-up truck through peak-hour traffic, operate heavy machinery and figure out complex tech… Yet they have no idea how to load a dishwasher, sort a pile of laundry, say “please” and “thank you,” or treat people with respect.
From weaponized incompetence, to partners expecting praise for doing the bare minimum, and entitled first dates, women have been sharing how certain men have been making their lives a living hell. We has compiled a list of some of the most infuriating screenshots, posts and pics that might serve as the perfect motivation for a women-only, remote island nation.
#1 This Is Not What I Sent My Husband To The Store For
Sent my husband to the store for paper towels and a few other items. Comes back with pie and only pie. I ain’t too mad about it, because yeah, I’m gonna eat some pie, but it sure would be nice to have some paper towels to wipe my mouth with afterwards.
#2 If Equality Starts At Home, Maybe You Could Actually Help Your Wife With The Chores And The Baby Too
#3 I Hope You Dumped Him
It was a man who invented the lightbulb. A man who first set foot on the moon. A man who brought us the telephone. Heck, a German inventor called Jacob Christian Schäffer was the first to design one of the earliest hand-powered washing devices, which would later evolve into a washing machine.
Yet, ask some men to do a load of washing and all you get is blank stares, or white shirts turned pink. Call it laziness, weaponized incompetence, entitlement, or being a few cards short of a deck, these guys are the ones who expect women to do the bulk of the heavy lifting.

#5 A True Gentleman
#6 Husband Replaced Last 2 Advil With Kibble
A quick scroll through this listicle provides more than enough proof that weaponized incompetence is alive and kicking. Painting around the coats hanging on a rail, asking your wife to wrap her own Christmas gifts, writing “Today” as the date on a juice bottle, not understanding the concept of thawing meat… Really?
Psychology Today defines weaponized incompetence as “strategically avoiding responsibility—by pretending to be incapable or inept at a task so that someone else helps, takes over, or stops delegating tasks to them.”
In this way, adds the site, the imbalance becomes entrenched over time. And quite frankly, we’re over it.

Some of these posts are so infuriating that they might make you dream of migrating to a women-only, remote island nation. Oh, if only there were such a thing… But wait, there is. Almost.
In the heart of rural Kenya lies a village called Umoja. It’s entirely run by women, and no men are allowed. Umoja was founded in 1990 by Rebecca Lolosoli, after she was thrown out of her community and beaten by a group of men for speaking out againstthe mutilation of females.

Umoja means “unity”in Swahili. The village began with 15 women but has been home to up to 50 families at a time since its inception. Only women and their children, of course. They build homes for each other, and have also constructed a school. The women also sell honey and handmade beads to tourists.
“I don’t want to ever leave this supportive community of women. We don’t have much, but in Umoja I have everything I need,” one resident, known only as Mary, told Salam Lab. Mary sought refuge in Umoja after being sold to an 80 year old man in exchange for a herd of cows, at the age of 16.

#14 Sorry You Went Through That
#15 Who Do I Tad To Share These Icon Screenshots?
Umoja isn’t the only women-only village in the world. Over in Egypt, lies Al Samaha. It was created in 1998 by the Ministry of Agriculture. The initiative was aimed at giving divorced women and widows a place to live, as well as a source of income.
“In Al Samaha, the government provides women with plots of land and furnished houses. Residents are able to pay off the costs of housing due to the profit made from agriculture, tending cattle and selling handicrafts,” reports Salam Lab.
Today, Al Samaha is also a refuge for women who have survived domestic violence.
Never miss a story that brings joy to the world.

Syria also has a women-only village. Jinwar was officially opened in November 2018, and was created by a group of activists striving for democracy, ecology, peace, and diversity. Like the other two villages, Jinwar is a refuge for women who have escaped violence, have been widowed or divorced.
“It also welcomes women wanting to escape from a capitalist and patriarchal society, regardless of their faith or ethnicity,” notes Salam Lab. Jinwar has dozens of buildings and dedicated spaces, including homes, a school, a community garden, a playground, a library, a bakery, and a natural health centre.

On a smaller scale, an increasing number of women and single mothers have been opting to live in female-only households. Known as “mommunes,” these have been popping up around the world. Mommune.com defines a “mommune” as two or more women sharing resources and responsibilities to more efficiently care for themselves and their children. Today.com defines it as a group of women raising their kids together without the assistance of adult males.

Bernie Sinclair lives in a mommune, along with her friend Anabelle Gonzalez and their three children. She says it has nothing to do with man-bashing or hating men.
“I’ve never wanted to live with a man. From my perspective, it is additional labor that is put on the woman, and I feel like that builds resentment in the house,” Sinclaire explains. “This isn’t because I hate men. It’s because I don’t think socially we’re in a place where it is equitable for a woman to be a wife.”
She adds that the living arrangement also benefits her sons. While they still see their father regularly, Sinclaire hopes that mommune life can teach them to have a better appreciation of household equity, maintenance, emotional attunement and conflict resolution.

Despite me telling my husband every single time he uses the vacuum to empty it after every use, he STILL doesn’t empty it until til it stops working properly. It’s a small stick vacuum, so it’s not like it’s a daunting task ….

I did a bunch of laundry, and carried it up from the basement. I left both baskets at the bottom of the stairs for us to carry up on our way to bed.
Hubby went to bed. He walked around BOTH baskets without moving either of them. (We’re pretty nocturnal, so he went to bed about an hour ago, and I’m going up now.

Whom I love so much drives me insane with the trash bin. I appreciate him taking the garbage, but he never puts the bag in when he does. It isn’t garbage day, so I wasn’t anticipating the empty bin and tossed coffee grounds in before noticing. Yes, I’ve talked to him about it. Yes, we both deal with the garbage. He does so much for the home, he just tends to not finish this particular job. I have resigned myself to living with this one character flaw until I d**.
