My spouse once told me that she hadn’t been allowed to play Risk because it was a boy’s game. Apparently as a child she had been sent “back to the kitchen” to help with “women’s chores” while the menfolk played strategy board games.
I didn’t shed a tear when her dad passed. And neither did she.
In my family, all the men would watch football and get drunk while all the women were in the kitchen cooking the feast.
Even as a young boy I thought that was pretty gross.

Would anyone in your family have read this post and changed their ways?
Seems unlikely.
