He can do more than you think

Instead of getting men to ‘believe in women’ more at work, why don’t we get women to ‘believe in men’ more at home? #BreakTheBias #IWD22 — “Oh, he’s useless when I’m not around,” the implication went, as she explained how her husband couldn’t do anything around the house.
