My grandpa and my father in law were never taught how to cook.
My grandpa could make porridge and sandwiches. My father in law can grill, but that’s it. My dad doesn’t even grill.
There are definitely households where cooking is seen as feminine and boys aren’t encouraged.
Thankfully my family is full of excellent cooks and all of my brothers and I love to cook. Some of my favourite memories of holidays were cooking with my mom before Christmas Eve so we didn’t have to cook until Boxing Day. I think the cooking part was better than the eating part, we had a full on hors d’oeuvre assembly line.
Sometimes I forget that I am from a different culture. I'm European. You are likely Americans. Online discourse is dominantly American. So when people say shit sometimes, it makes no sense from my point of view, because we were not raised under whatever conditions you have suffered under.
I'm not bashing Americans. I kind of like Americans to a degree. But you're weird man. Sorry, sometimes it's hard to keep up with your day to day grievances. My bad. Maybe what the post says needs to be said.
I’m Canadian, but there’s a lot of overlap culturally. I have American cousins.
Totally agree this is weird. I don’t think it’s as much of an issue these days but you still have perks who feel a woman’s place is in the kitchen (generally they’re shit people).
My mom’s side is québécois and the culture around these things is much more sensible with them.
