I find it soooo weird that people say cooking is a womans job (it should just be who ever likes cooking job), but in most parts of the world, men are dominantly the people who do the cooking in professional and home environments. I love cooking and my partner loves the chemistry of baking, else we would just have a cabinet of craft dinners and ramen (not that we dont have those on hand).
that is super fucked up, like no matter the amount of money I have made even when I had people in the house that could cook for me, I was still like no let me cook for me and my partner.
It’s just another epic sexism moment. Cooking lame garden-variety “food to not die” crap at home to feed the family? That’s a woman’s job. Doing good, skillful cooking that has intrinsic merit of its own, cooking that deserves money? Oh okay, now men should be doing it. 🙃
This even happens with home cooking, at least it did in my town. The moms cook every night, but when a DAD is grilling some STEAK (ironically a much simpler dish to make), suddenly that’s a special event.
Just about all prejudice is just manufactured cultural pressure. There’s no base in reality or rationality, it’s just “people told me this often enough that now I believe it.” It easily shifts from culture to culture because different people said different baseless things that became “common knowledge” in that region.
the idea of gendered jobs is just some old ass shit. You wanna cook clean and be the one who get drunk at the bar and starts fights, do it, I mean not around me because you sound like a mess, but you dont need tits or a dick to preform most things in life.
or it’s just something you have encountered your entire life.
other than professional cooking classes I’ve taken for my own interest, I’ve never known a guy who cooks other than grilling outside. Women like it when I grill outside for them too.
But if I cook inside? It’s all very bizarre and suspicious and uncomfortable. It’s not ‘natural’.
We’re saying the same thing. People say the kitchen is for women, so people think it’s weird for a man to be in the kitchen, so men stay out of the kitchen. Doesn’t make it any more logical, it’s just an old tradition based on bad takes from people long dead.
Yeah. I do most of the cooking for me and my girlfriend, and that suits both of us. I like being able to cook what I want, and she likes eating what I cook.
I always thought it felt kinda good when I would cook a new dish for me and a partner/friends and they enjoyed it. It gave me a small warm fuzzy feeling, I would get pissed if I was not allowed to do that (both the cooking, as I like it, and the fuzzy, again because I like it).
That’s actually most of the relationships my friends are in as well. The guys do most of the cooking. And honestly in this day where women have higher degrees and are getting better paying jobs, cooking is essentially the bare minimum for most guys to get a girlfriend.

My mom didn’t start to learn how to cook till she was in her 40s and that was like a hobby.
i’ve never dated a woman my entire life who didn’t look down on me for cooking. even if she herself couldn’t cook.
cultural beliefs are everything to many folks.
to them cooking and cleaning is for lower class people, if it’s not women it should be hired help who are immigrants.
that is super fucked up, like no matter the amount of money I have made even when I had people in the house that could cook for me, I was still like no let me cook for me and my partner.
That’s fascinating! I’m in America and most women seem to like that I (male) do the cooking. Do you mind me asking what culture you’re a part of here?
progressive liberal democratic voting boston. Boston is political liberal but socially conservative.
women here are 2025 in the streets, but 1955 in the sheets.

I have seen a lot of that too, where its he grills and she does the inside cooking.
