No country in the world has achieved true gender equality when it comes to unpaid domestic and care labor. While some men are finally waking up, others remain completely oblivious to their own incompetence.

One shocking example is a grown man whose wife spends hours each month doing meal prep on her own — cooking and freezing dinner for the next 30 days. But even she reached her breaking point one day when her husband gave away half the food. When she demanded he fix the mistake, her in-laws called her “petty.” Now, she’s turned to the internet to ask if she really is.

Read on to see how netizens reacted to this story of a man who’s probably never even used a stove.
