Cooking may be a feminine thing in the US, but many cultures don't see it that way. At least in France, Italy, China, and Japan (each having their reputation for food) a chief is most likely a male. And it is kind of abnormal for an adult man to do not know anything about cooking.

But yes, don't let your boys grow thinking they may remain kids all their life. Women of thwir generation are most likely going to expect from them they be grown up...

    These posts are so outdated. This should have been a PSA in 1995. Cooking is not considered feminine in the US. This generation is being raised by millennials that have made a massive split from the way their parents raised them and traditional roles. Kids are also exposed to men in the kitchen way more. Just think about the ridiculous amount of cooking shows on tv and being advertised. Also, I don’t know about anyone else, but cooking the turkey was one of the few times my dad actually did go into the kitchen and was considered a manly task in my mind. And the parents that do still raise their kids with those outdated family roles aren’t gonna be persuaded by some “woke” tweet. I think the message should be just to involve your kids in the preparation of things like this. Give them responsibilities. Start teaching them how to adult early in life.

    My boys did the cleaning and my husband is doing the cooking this year. I'm reading on the couch and offer support (if directed) from time to time. THIS. IS. THE. BEST. If you don't do it for the next gen, do it for yourself.

    I cook everyday.

    If you ask my toddler where dada is... He will tell you "in the kitchen"

    I only use cast iron.. so the kiddo will grow up using his great grandmother's cookware and eventually inherit them.

    Edit: blocked this community.. (Or well it will be in a moment)

    Additionally men need to know how to cook. Because it shouldn't be left to just one individual in the household.

    More specifically:

    Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.

    I cook more than my wife does. I don't think this generation is like that at all

    Gender critical talk like gender stereotypes? Seems like this post would be a violation of that rule.

    Ed: I'm curious, another poster pointed out the fact you simply took "my wife" as meaning man woman when it doesn't actually mean that at this point I'm the same way partner doesn't imply same sex/identifier. Wouldn't that too be gender critical? Whos taking ids or defining woman here?

    Look at the age of my account. I literally just joined this Lemmy stuff and don't know how it works yet. Also don't post things on the Internet if you don't want men to see it and call you out on your bullshit. Anyway, now I know the rules and I will be off to other places! Have fun y'all. However I can't promise that I won't accidentally stumble across another one of these and not notice where it's from. But I'm sure you'll live

    My husband does most of the cooking in our house. I’ll help with dinner today but for the most part I’ll be keeping the three year old entertained while he cooks

    (For context, I checked OP's comments and am not merely assuming)
