    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’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.

      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.

      What the heck? I cook because I’m better at it (like, much better) and my husband cleans; but my mom & dad cooked about equally when I was growing up (and they were literally from the 1950s) my ex-brother outlaw was a chef, actually taught his wife to cook well, now they are about equal; my ex went from below zero to good cook while we were together (and back again according to my kids) I can’t even begin to imagine thinking it unmanly to know how to feed yourself. It is to me unmanly to be like a kid and expect your lady partner to take care of everything at home, yuck.
