DISCLAIMER: I am aware that learned helplessness is more often associated with serious conditions like depression and anxiety, which is not what this post with anecdotal evidence lines up with. So, I don't need the editors of Webster's dictionary lecturing me in the comments.

TL;DR at the bottom.

It does not take experience with new women to see female nature. One can see it through their own family members. I present to you exhibit A: my older sister. Since my birth, she has always had an odd type of jealousy towards me. Examples include her predicting (prior to when I was born) that once I am born that no one will pay attention to her, her complaining about my mother dressing me when I was just a year old, and her complaining when my mother would make me lunch. Her signature lines when my mother would do something for me was "He needs to learn how to do it by himself!" and "He can do it by himself, he's not a baby!". She knows deep down, that the reason my mother did simple things, like making me a sandwich for lunch, was because she wanted to and that I had known how to do such a basic task for many years. The root of her complaining stemmed from her no longer being the younger child and therefore not getting as much attention.

I really connected the dots this year, when I realized that despite her many years of complaining about "learning how to do things myself", she routinely asked me to order food for her, pick up her delivery when it was downstairs, and print out things for her. When I asked why she couldn't order for delivery herself, her excuse was "they deliver faster when you call them". Whenever I offered to connect her laptop to the printer, so that she could you know, "learn to do it by herself" she would always brush it off and say "please just print it out". Do you notice the irony in this?

TL;DR: Women- "Why learn how to do something when I can always have a man do it for me?"
