One of the best meals I've eaten were prepared by men. This does not mean that the women didn't do a great job.

It just goes to show that everyone is capable of perfecting their culinary skills if only they try.

Actually, every point you've raised here is valid. It captures today's reality perfectly. Especially how the access to education makes this stereotype subtle.

But then, I've always been of the opinion that most ladies naturally believe they rule the kitchen and if a guy should step in, he must do it like a support and not a full-time work.

Our ladies love pampering their men. Ah! Regardless of how tedious and time consuming cooking might be.

Yes, it's social conditioning. And there are guys who already Lord the kitchen now, but on a scale of 1-10, I think the chances of people fully accepting that the kitchen isn't particularly reserved for anyone is 5.

It will tell a while for ads to stop advertising women when we are talking about food or churches to assign cooking roles to men during events. 😄

I'd love to see this change effected though. But I doubt it might happen anytime soon.
