Cooking is not a girl thing

Having babies is.

The thoughts about cooking are all over the place. I recently had a granddaughter tell me men don’t cook, as I made her a meal. About the same time a pre teen daughter went about making a meal for her teenage brother, whom she hates. And as one who watches the cooking channels, most chefs are men. Good grief, what is one to think?

This is what many think, men and women. Men can cook, and often both choose to do so and are very good at it. Maybe it reverts back to the primeval cooking of the game hunted. Maybe it is just because girls have not been taught how to cook. Nobody is born knowing how to cook, we have to be trained and taught.

Of course this is mostly a western argument. Most eastern women are taught to cook by their mothers, and other matriarchs.

So is cooking a presentation type of meal to impress the other sex a means to get laid. Yes. Is cooking the most bland type of meal for kids a way just to grow them without complaint. Yes.

Is anything different?
