There is nothing sexier than a man just sorting shit out. I don’t care whether he grabs his toolkit or picks up the phone to call a tradesman but if the second he notices the dishwasher is broken, he fixes it, I’m happy. If I express interest in an exhibition and he books tickets, transport and a hotel, he’s doing it right. No checking or second guessing himself. Grow a pair and actually be a man!
My brother and father are man-brats, and I can say for a fact I do not respect either. If I'm with a man exhausting me with household chores and admin, then I'm going to have to leave. I can't choose my family, but I can choose my partner.
I don't like the solutions given in the article, I guess they don't wanna be advocates for broken homes or divorces...but sometimes leaving the situation and surrendering that you cannot win with a manchild is the best way to resolve these problems. I cannot tell you how liberating it is when you wake up and the only person/people you need to take care of is yourself and children and not an able-body man too lazy to wash dishes, put the toilet seat down, or be a coparent to his own children.
We had this exact interaction too. Of course, I didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him he had gained so much weight it was disgusting and he needed to visit the dentist to finally get his mouth cleaned, so I didn't. The dead bedroom is always their own doing.

Former dental receptionist here! The amount of times scrotey gross men who have come in to find out they need a deep cleaning and start throwing mantrums is alarming.

"Sari van Anders, another co-author, adds that many people find comfort in these assumptions. “It can feel more manageable to change your hormones, or try stress reduction techniques, than tackle structural inequalities,” she says."It can feel easier to take drugs to induce an artificial libido, side effects be damned, than for a man to learn the basic and EASY life skills of maintaining a house hold??? Fuck that, man. No fucking way.Listen, man-babies dont kill my libido. I got plenty of libido for men who act like adults. Just dump him and move on.
"But people of all genders can be adult-children!!!" 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

"People in relationships with cisgendered heterosexual men"... I'm gonna stop you there. This is about WOMEN and MEN, and sexual orientation and gEnDaW iDeNtiTy have not one goddamn thing to do with it. It's pathetic to see scientists lie like that.

I believe plenty of gay men are man-childs. But if a man is pulling this shit with his husband, it's frustrating and infuriating. If a man pulls this shit with his wife, it's frustrating, infuriating, insulting, and demoralizing. The way men treat women is a singular phenomenon; you CANNOT shuffle the sexes (let alone the gEnDaW iDeNtiTiEs) and pretend it makes no difference who's making who do all the house work.
I used to have a housemate who was a gay man-child; messy, petulant, entitled, anger issues, thought that Axe body spray was a substitute for a shower...he even dressed like a child and shaved his hair instead of getting a proper haircut. Long story short: I live alone now and it is amazing!

Wait why is it on us to fix it??
Why is the first solution for the women to identify herself as the "enabler" and go to therapy over it??
Imagine that. Women aren't attracted to men who force them into a motherly role. Shocking
What? Women are attracted to men with ambition, drive, personal integrity, hygiene, cooking skills, etc etc. WHAT?? Women are so MySteRiOuS

Didn't know a scientific study needed to be carried out to reach this conclusion.
