MostlyHarmlessGive a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and then buy the pond. Tell him he can't have the fish, but he can fish for you and you will sell the fish and give him a very small cut, and then he'll say stuff like "I am hungry and my teeth hurt". Nobody wants to fish these days.

Teach a man person to fish
I nearly fell into that trap. It isn't just men who angle, right? And then the first part of that old saw regarding the giving of fish? Well, in my experience, and not to be sexist, if you give a man a fish he'll probably throw it in a frying pan, maybe with some butter, whereas, again based on my experience, if you give a woman a fish she's more than likely going to season it in interesting ways,
