Is it because he think you’re going to put it together wrong? Or is he just a misogynist?

Venting or looking for input?

I agree, I do think it’s stupid. If you don’t feel the need for help and enjoy doing it then his input isn’t really needed. I think labeling things as “man things” and you shouldn’t be able to do them is dumb. If he’s just offering help there’s no problem but if he finds it a problem that you won’t let him help I think it’s dumb
