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).
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.
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’.
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.
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.

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.
