As other far more gifted and able women have already posted about Frogpole and skillfully pricked his pompous bubble, I'm only going to respond to his comments made to me:
@Frogpole
@Mothership4two I'm equally as curious as to where you found all these helpful, kind and supportive comments, what part of my very, very simple comment made it entirely above your reading level, or why you think "hey, can you do me a favour please" is inequality and oppression.. we've all got our crosses to bear though, right?
I'm also curious where I said there were helpful, kind and supportive comments? Again not sure what you were reading? I actually said I didn't recognise the thread that you were condescendingly telling women posters off about for raging at each other and tearing one another down - oh and for "sicking your Chihuahuas on people" 😂Maybe your reading and writing comprehension isn't up to scratch, eh?
Also not sure where I didn't get what you were saying? I understood perfectly and explained clearly. My two lines of pretty mild disagreement with you really seemed to get your undies in a twist. Is Mrs Frogpole never allowed to voice any disagreements with you?
what part of my very, very simple comment made it entirely above your reading level - BTW I was not rude to you in my comments. I'm don't know whether your reading level would enable you to recognise the irony in being rude to someone commenting on your post criticising women for being rude and unkind to each other?
The rest of my post was pretty clearly about the thread in general, although you seem to have taken particular umbrage with it. 'Typical man making it all about him', would be a sexist way to put it. We are allowed to disagree on MN you know? That tends to be the form for AIBU threads.
It's not just a case of "hey, can you do me a favour please" is it? As has been explained ad infinitum. It's the attitude that women are unable or can't/won't do certain things that they are perfectly capable of doing which is basically the nub of sexism. Some things that may be a bit "icky"/not a very nice job(s). Every day lots of women are doing "icky" jobs somewhere on this planet - is that news to you? Not having had a lifetime of casual or actual sexism you don't seem able to relate, but it might benefit you to go back and read some of the comments on this thread, to get at least a partial understanding.
As I said upthread, when I read the OP I was mildly perplexed because it genuinely would not occur to me to ask OH and that a women would do that. I would just have gone out and done it without thinking twice. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask if there is some genuine reason for you not to go but "you've got a penis and I haven't" isn't reasonable in my book. Nor is "well I know he'll do it so I won't have to" or "I'm lazy" as has been said in some comments or words to that effect.
As I have already said, OH would definitely have gone, but he probably would have asked if I was feeling OK. OH is a lovely kind man who, fortunately, treats me as his equal and I him. I ask him to help me or to do certain jobs (usually physical) and he does the same to me (usually fiddly ones as I have better eyesight and am more dexterous). And we rub along just fine.
Not the point of OP's post, but if you hear a noise that might be an intruder in the house then it's pretty logical for the biggest partner who is most capable go check it out (although it makes more sense for you both to go) - duh!
At the moment 87% of posters have voted YABU which is in some way heartening.
