No one taught me how to fix a car or paint a fence, yet I can do both. So can countless others with no such training across literally the entire spectrum of human capability.
People who claim they don't do housework because they 'were never taught how' are just feigning incompetence. I bet the vacuum becomes much less mystifying if I tie a $1000 prize to its successful operation, for example.
Sure but some people don't claim incompetence they are (no jugment here) incompetent. If you tell someone do the laundry but he had no idea it means:
He might put white with colors, delicate with cotton. Add detergent but nothing to prevent color leaking. And select a cycle that too hot, damaging some cloth. He did it. He did his best. But his best is worst that when you are careless because he doesn't know what he is doing. If you would have realized he was not taught to do the laundry, you would have give more explanation or a few smaller tasks.
