I wish I could link you the quintessential video but every single one is just a woman hammering a nail in with the flat side of a screwdriver to hang up a picture. I take no offense to this, I jury rig all my shit. But you have to have seen a few of those, I think, to get the idea.

But why are you partners. Any combination of values that arrives you at "I'm doing a man task because my man takes too long to do them" sucks. Not to go all reddit and suggest to break off every human contact at the slightest inconvenience but why the fuck are you together

I agree with your sentiment but have you seen the videos? What you're saying is a big part of why they all strike me as deeply antifeministic because it's "Look, I, A WOMAN, have to do a MAN JOB because the man I date is such a lazy slob" in the sense vein that things like "I'm too pretty to work" , "I'm just a girl I should be lounging on a chaise looking pretty tee hee" have gained traction even outside trad circles somewhat.

It's not at all "everybody should learn how to basic home DIY stuff" - there's channels from men, women and enbies that do that. The entire premise is the rejection of the idea that an adult person should know how to do this at all if they identify as a woman.
