Gender Cliché Fun: "Husbands Just Can't Do Stuff"

Yes, yes, of course not all husbands are incompetent goofballs, OK?

I appreciate your disclaimer. I'd add ex-husbands, too.

Just sayin'. I'm not defensive, or anything.

Brian, I'm sure you are not and were never doofy, regardless of matrimonial status!

And I'd never really thought about it, but a lot of commercials DO seem to use the "doofy husband/incompetent male" stereotype. Hm.
