Day 25 of #whyweneedfeminismin2021
Can we just go ahead and simply accept the fact that cooking is just a basic life skill. It is needed, but it does not define you, specially when you are a woman.
I am sure you know what I am talking about, the stares, the glares, the frowns when one hears that a woman does not know how to cook, or they put in front of you, a half-baked-half-burnt pie. Oh, forbid!! At times it is just humorous, and at times plane drab.
Also, have you noticed that cooking becomes an art when a man does it, a duty when a woman does it.
Again, chefs? Ratio in genders? Just saying.
#qotd Rate your cooking on a scale of 1 to 10?
#aotd 5/10. I’ll cook and you won’t die of hunger, that’s all I can promise though.

I am a great cook, and I have to admit it that I became one because I needed to and was expected to be. I certainly would love not to be responsible for it primarily.

i’m an ok cook. i can follow directions (recipes) and i learned at an early age (first grade) how to cook (scrambled eggs). in any of my relationships, i was the cook as my female counterpart had never learned to cook. fyi…i was an only child.
