Sometimes I forget that I am from a different culture. I’m European. You are likely Americans. Online discourse is dominantly American. So when people say shit sometimes, it makes no sense from my point of view, because we were not raised under whatever conditions you have suffered under.
I’m not bashing Americans. I kind of like Americans to a degree. But you’re weird man. Sorry, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with your day to day grievances. My bad. Maybe what the post says needs to be said.
I’m Canadian, but there’s a lot of overlap culturally. I have American cousins.
Totally agree this is weird. I don’t think it’s as much of an issue these days but you still have perks who feel a woman’s place is in the kitchen (generally they’re shit people).
My mom’s side is québécois and the culture around these things is much more sensible with them.
I have nothing against division of labor. In my family, my father cooked, and my mother worked (he worked too but mom worked harder and basically made the brunt of the income in our family), and that was expected, accepted, and agreed upon. In any relationship, people have duties that don’t overlap, because it’s more efficient and functional.
I get that the post is about some sort of passive aggressive general outrage against what I guess is misogyny, but I feel it’s just misplaced in this case and a bit self indulgent, like, what she is saying is really “look at me, I made this major cultural discovery, and I would like to both announce it to the world how great I am, as well as admonish those who don’t do it”.
It’s not the message, it’s the smugness that gets fucking annoying, because I bet that person does a lot of shit others would consider bad parenting or being straight up immoral, and it irks other people like me.
I don’t have anything against division of labor, that’s totally natural. I don’t like people who believe that cooking is for girls and women only or that mentality.

That was the point.

That’s fair. I don’t understand it at all as most top chefs in the world are men.
:P
I’m just messing with you, but no, I mean what even is that, men can cook.
