Well, I don't!. I've been cooking for myself for years and the more I do the more I like it!. I actually have an unnamed paranoia where if I got married I would have to eat her food!. Hmmm, why I assume she would cook I don't know, just wouldn't want to eat it every day!. Interesting!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think its funny that the stereotype amongst the general public is that cooking is for women, while in professional kitchens, the stereotype is that most women couldn't cook if their lives depended on it!.
Cooking is for anyone who truly loves good food, and I have worked with many extremely talented women who could cook me out of the kitchen any day!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know, they are probably the same people that think that gay marriages should be banned, we shouldn't have an African American President, that only women should raise the children and take care of the house, that sex offender registries should be kept private and children should be seen, not heard!. It's such an old school mentality and they are unfortunately, dying off and the new way of life, thinking and progress are making it's way into the "norm", but it always takes some time and I too, am sick of that 50's frame of mind, it's amazing that it's lasted this long, but think about it, women still don't get paid the same as men do and are expected to work, maintain the house and family rearing main responsibilities (but, that is also changing rapidly, Thank God!) so as life progresses forward, it's still not fast enough for some (like me) and we just have to exercise our rights to speak up to the ones we love and tell them what we think and feel!. These are just my opinions here but I do think we are moving forward, just not fast enough!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.the 1950's were long ago!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Holidays to you and speak your mind!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know anyone who thinks that way OK maybe ONE Greek guy, but he's a bit of a chauvinist!.

Just point out to them how many male chefs there are and that the majority of kitchen staffs in hotels and restaurants are men!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your right!. I am a man who likes to cook!. I don't mean microwave!. I do
make a mean crispy baked chicken, if i say so myself!.Love is a 50-50
agreement!. You take care of your lady and she will take care of you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Really, most of the guys I hang around with are fellow "foodies"!. We will get in a huddle and start bragging

3 Men I work with do all of the family cooking!. My last ex-husband is a chef!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think it is because they get the perfect house wife 1950 in there heads and men need to feel important so they work while woman do the "easier job' so it is a show of dignityWww@FoodAQ@Com
