    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.

      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.
