But isn't "Don't put that away" a specific instruction? If you've already got the bowl in your hand and you're putting it away, you know what that's in reference to, surely. So where's the confusion?

I understand OP because this annoys me too. And frankly, I don't think you or anyone else NEEDS "explanations" for something so simple. Just don't put the bowl away like the person asked. It's not necessary for you to know why they don't want it put away. Just... don't do it. Literally just put the bowl back where you found it and you're done. Insisting that oh noooo you need to know that they're using it (which... duh) or you're just so confuuuuused and it's not your fault and if only the woman had used a nicer, sweeter tone when they asked you not to put it away it'd be fine but since they didn't, it's the woman's fault for issuing a specific instruction that wasn't the right kind of specific instruction, according to you, etc. etc.

You might not have meant it this way, but be aware that men doing the whole, "I would've totally done the thing if only the woman in my life had told me what she wanted done/said it in a nicer way" is frequently used as a lazy argument from lazy men who don't actually want to be helpful AND who don't want to be blamed for being UNhelpful. Weaponized incompetence.

So, don't be nice or else you're helping the patriarchy and its weaponized incompetence. Got it.

If being nice worked, it would have by now...
