My best friend was telling me how much she had to do before her Christmas guests arrive including hoovering the whole house. I tell her to get her strong 16 year old son onto this one. No, she says, he won't do it well enough ( yes, she's a bit of a perfectionist) and I say, no, there's a word for this. When people mostly men do a job badly enough they won't be asked again.
What is that bloody word? It's been bothering me all night.

Haha,mall of the above probably apply. I think it was purposeful incompetence, though strategic works just as well.
I had it in my head there was a Mansplaining type equivalent of Manfuckingidle .
