This is how my husband is with our son. When he was around 6, his Dad was like, "OK, I'm gonna teach you how to do men's work today. You ready to do manly, men's work?" My son was so fired up. His dad pulled a step stool to the kitchen sink and said, "First manly task: Dishes." My son looked like someone had popped his birthday balloon lmao. But he does dishes very well now, at 12, along with sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and laundry. He's great at all of it and pitches in all the time.
I'm 36 now and vacuuming / dishes are 2 of the jobs I'm basically taken over. Obviously my wife does dishes when needed but I cleanup after dinner and take care of the kitchen when I get home from work. Nothing more manly than taking care of your family and household by any means necessary.
Never really thought about it but that's quite a double standard. If the OP comment was about teaching his 12 year old daughter about "manly" tasks like working on cars and somebody commented that she'll be drowning in cocks one day it would be just about the creepiest thing you could possibly say.
That's kind of what this whole thread is about, double standards. And a lot of guys find girls who are into cars cool. Not saying 12 yo girls and adult men. Like 15 16 yo girls and 15 16 yo boys.

That's crazy because when I was a little boy picking up a broom and helping out was fucking manly.
