DaSwankOne: This is not optional in a long term relationship. I dated a former riot grrl that wanted to go dutch until she graduated college. After that she somehow transformed. I guess once she saw how other girls operate, she wanted her dating welfare too.

Yeah, but don't you see? She became a RiotGrrl to get her rebellious tendencies out right away. She'll eventually get married and become a meek little housewife. She may even learn how to cook.

SpiderKing:

Seriously, men, your asses need to learn how to cook.

Actually, you women need to learn how to cook.

Men know how to cook.

It's farking easy.

That's why we don't have to learn.

You women, with your cookbooks and shiat. And you still can't make a decent cup of coffee.

All the fun of being a man with none of the responsibility!

I farking love to cook, because I farking love to eat good food.

WTF is un-masculine about the idea, "if you want something done right, do it yourself"?

I don't know what it is but I find myself compelled to agree with Shakespeare's Monkey.

RandomFeature: You guys are doing it wrong.

I cook, I clean, I do all the laundry, and I pull in a 6 figure income that almost matches my husband's.

I treat him like a king, he spoils me rotten.

Perhaps some of you guys aren't holding up your end of the bargain?

I cook, I clean, I do the laundry, and pull in a 6 figure income. I also am MR Fixit, MR Mechanic, and MR Finanacial Planner.

Yes, some of us do hold up our end plus some.

What the fark is "ghey" about cooking? I learned how as a matter of necessity. I lived by myself for about 10 years after college and had to figure out how to cook. Self reliance is something to be desired.

Nature is as nature does.

I wouldn't mind the metrofication of the American male if it went both ways - but the most of the ladies still can't operate a god damned screwdriver or throw a football to save their lives... and the feminists told them they don't have to cook or clean anymore either.

Seriously, the young men of today are impressive jack-of-all-trades guys (if terminally lazy). The young women, on the other hand, act like house-cats - their only apparent skill is grooming.

Note to the insecure dudes here: Knowing how to cook does not make you the ghey. Sucking weener does. So quit sucking weener and learn to cook.

Y'all REALLY need to get over your sexual hangups if you honestly associate cooking with homosexuality. That's just retarded.

Actually now and throughout history most to nearly all of the world's greatest chefs have been men. Heterosexual men even. For real. It is not a gender specific task. Even in "real life" many men that I know who cook as more than a passing thing do so very, very well, especially when compared to the women I know in real life who cook as more than a passing thing.

Not that women can't make good food. It's just this "cooking is for women" thing. Where the hell did that come from? Had to have been invented in the 1930's or something.

Slightly OT, but what's a "RiotGrrl"? I've seen that term pop up on the intarweb recently...

Oddly enough, I come away with exactly the same impression in most cases. Guys are becoming skilled at everything and women are spending their time belittling men and going on about how inferior they are without actually doing anything themselves. Weird now that you bring it up, I hadn't really thought about it before.

It's not a new term. Feminist + punk.

Yeah just look in every working kitchen in North America, 90% will be all male, and the other 10% are going out of business.

Women in the kitchen? get them the Fark out of it! Worst thing for a working kitchen is to have two women working in it, sooner than later there's gonna be a tiff and biatches hold a grudge then everything comes to a grinding halt.

/First hand experience

SpiderKing: C. What do you think that hot girl you've been thinking about would say if she found out you could cook an awesome meal for her? Hint: It wouldn't be "what a pussy".

Bears repeating.

Doctor Hooey: Y'all REALLY need to get over your sexual hangups if you honestly associate cooking with homosexuality. That's just retarded.

Exactly. Now who wants some creme brulee?

I work and my wife stays home. I also do about 95% of the cooking as well. I don't really see a problem with it. I guess I have cooking in my genes (grandma was a cook for 60+ years, mom was a cook for 30+ years, sister is a chef-in-training).

My wife: Worst. Cook. Ever. I cringe when she calls and says "I am thinking about cooking ... ". She can't even make tea right.

Men cook outside of the home, women cook inside the home.

I think that's the stereotype. And in cases of casual cooking, which probably involves 90% of all couples in the world, its most likely true. I'm speaking only of those who actually pursue cooking as more than a passing hobby or something to do simply to feed oneself. When it comes to getting down to business and making amazingly succulent food, guys who go the full monty seem to really excel.

OS 2 Warp 9.5: Yeah just look in every working kitchen in North America, 90% will be all male, and the other 10% are going out of business.

That's because all the women are working out front as waitstaff, where people pay them extra just to deliver food, and extra on top of that if they flirt and bat their eyes nicely.

Somehow, that doesn't seem to work as well for guys, so they actually have to learn a useful skill if they want to make money in the food service industry.

Couldn't have said it better. I'm in my mid twenties and have met very few women who can cook, or do anything generally useful that are under 40.

//I know they are out there

It makes me hot when Chef Ramsey gets all fired up and shouts "Oh Fark Me" on his show. My husband laughs at me!

clevershark: Slightly OT, but what's a "RiotGrrl"? I've seen that term pop up on the intarweb recently...

Back in the Grunge / Slacker days she was the kind of girl that was into the whole womyn based political philosophy that felt that she needed to rebel against the patriarchal society that keeps women down. She wore dog collars with t-shirts and a bike jacket and cut offs with tights (sometimes fishnet) and Doc Martins. She was always the annoying girl at the Flipper show that kept crowd surfing over and over and over. She also would usually have a three way with you and her other RiotGrrl roommate. Sometime she would not shave for a while, but she would go out with you and get rip roaring drunk. Damn I miss the 90's.

LowPlainsDrifter: Actually now and throughout history most to nearly all of the world's greatest chefs have been men. Heterosexual men even.

That's because being an actual chef, (not just a talented line cook who calls himself a chef), requires much more than just the ability to cook.

A real chef can effectively manage 50-100 kitchen employees, keep food cost low, design a full menu every 3 months, keep abreast of current restaurant trends, and still put together a 7-course degustation meal, off-the-cuff, using whatever he has in the walk-in. That shiat takes schooling, talent, and a well-fed alcohol problem.

Ah, nothing like a good misogyny thread in the morning. Better than coffee, I tells ya.

My boys have had a lot of fun with the Dr. Dredd concoctions...

More like a chemistry experiment - but they get to eat/drink the finished products...

Foodwise they can do simple stuff like popcorn or sammiches...

The sooner you train them to cook - the less you'll hear... "I'm hungry..."

Does not agree.

To all of the guys that think cooking makes you a homo: Go to your average greasy spoon, ask to see the chef (who will invariably be come big bastard with a shiatload of scars and a bunch of teeth missing) and tell his that cooking makes him gay. He'll chop off your head with a cleaver.

Or, even better, go read any of the fine books written by Anthony Bourdain. That'll set you straight. So to speak.

Bukharin:

All you British mother farkers can suck my dick
All your food farking tastes like shiat
Like Kung-Pow par boiled elephant clit
And you make cheese that has mother farking grit

I'll boil some water and pour it over over your head
Tea Bag your face, I think nuff's said

Bust out the lemon and squeeze it in your eye
Dinner time in Britain time for donkey shiat pie

There's been no misogyny yet SusanIvanova. Well not that I've seen so far anyway. Stating facts is not misogyny. If somebody were to state "the overwhelming majority of high rise sky scraper construction workers are male and not female, with very, very few exceptions", that is not misogyny.

I personally find it wonderful that guys are taking up cooking. Guys tend to be obsessive about things they enjoy as hobbies or careers, to the point of creating entire art forms out of simple tasks, so this can only mean we're in for a lot more good food in the future. What's not to like about that?

The only alcohol "problem" there is occurs when I run out of gin and it is after 9:00pm.

Bukharin: If theres one thing in this country that really bothers me
Is the inability of Yanks to make a good cup of tea
Instructions are printed on the teabag
But either they can't read
Or they think it's a gag

Pour boiling water over the tea
How simple and clear can the instructions be?

They bring you a cup with a lemon slice
And an unopened tea bag beside it, How nice!
And a pot of water and it may be hot
But boiling it isn't so tea you have not

It's boiling water that brings out tea's flavor
With a dash of milk you've a real brew to savor
They drink luke brown water that looks like gnat pee
And it's got nothing to do with a good cup of tea

Pour boiling water over the tea
How simple and clear can the instructions be?

Earl Grey tea tastes like ass. But hey, whatever blows up yer skirt.

Southern sweet tea is the bomb. (I just like saying that to watch the Brits lose their minds. And it's true, too.)

Coffee, black. A real mans drink.

DaSwankOne: The only alcohol "problem" there is occurs when I run out of gin and it is after 9:00pm.

Personally, I don't trust any cook/chef without an alcohol or drug problem. I say "problem", although I just consider it a "habit".

Man, there are a lot of assholes in here who aren't hanging out with the right kind of women. You're doing your sons a disservice if you don't teach them how to cook and you're doing your daughters a disservice if you don't teach them how to use tools and be mechanically handy in a general sense. My mother is the true jack-of-all-trades. That woman picks the apples herself then bakes the pie from scratch. She mows her own lawn, trims her own hedges and is capable of disassembling and fixing all kinds of things (toilets and sinks are a specialty. I've also seen her re-wire stuff). She is awesome and wasn't raised to think that tools = man and cooking = woman and THAT is the way I was raised. You're a useless woman if you're afraid to put an Ikea table together by yourself and you're an equally useless man if you can't at least roast a chicken.

Yeah, no misogyny at all. Stating that a majority of working chefs are male isn't misogyny. The stuff above, however, is.
