    I saw it as a commentary on how the patriarchy infantilizes men to the point where they don’t even know how to shop properly. And that she doesn’t have that experience with her now wife.

    Which is sometimes unfortunately accurate. Every horrible insta experience has been a dude. It hasn’t been many, but when I ask for frozen pizza, no you can’t swap it out for frozen peas. I get that they share a lot of letters, but c’mon.

      So if patriarchy doesn’t provide women proper experience in leadership roles, your logic also makes it ok to say this:

      Microdosing being married to a woman by gently but firmly teaching a girl intern how to properly lead a project.

      Your logic seems a bit problematic. As for me personally, I’d rather not perpetrate stereotypes even if they happen to be true today.

        Please no more “girl boss” bosses. They learned all the wrong lessons and made actual good bosses even more rare.

        I’m not sure project management is a household task. So that feels a bit weird. Totally different relationship dynamic.

        But otherwise, yes, you’re talking about mentorship of women and we want more of that.

      there’s gotta be some sort of factor where low effort men gravitate to Instacart and low effort women gravitate to other jobs. I don’t readily accept that men are just shittier, considering my own experience is rather equal

      because that peas for pizza thing is fucking terrible lmao

      as a related note, I’m not sure if we’ve had one successful male project manager at work. I think we have a couple now and at least one of them is doing well, but prior to that none of them lasted more than half a year and didn’t do well in that time. I think we’re approaching the half year mark on one of the men now. the women seem to be the only ones that can keep up with the shitstorm and put up with the abuse from all sides. I sure as fuck couldn’t/wouldnt. read into that what you will about how people are treated in that work environment, and specifically how women are treated and how they deal with it.
