Feminism has fukked up women's heads so much that the notion of cooking and being able to eat on your own is some foreign concept to these fatherless, can't keep a man chicks.

Do only women need to know how to cook, or should every self sufficient adult know how to cook in your opinion?

your sister is a feminist? and idk I don't really follow feminist ideals but that might be a feature of extreme feminism. But I will say that he wouldn't have bought his son this set. Why? because he feels like cooking is a woman's duty, not a life skill we all should have. Buying a fake cooking set (not even an easy bake oven where you can actually make stuff) only seeks to ascribe and reinforce a gender role, not the life skill.Everyone should. But (and correct me if i'm wrong) there is a negative connotation attached with cooking within feminism.
This is an argument i've seen play out between my sister an my mother many times. My sister feels like learning how to cook somehow devalues her and fits her into a stereotype. My mom just goes![]()

Yes to the boldedMy sister dabbled in it, as she does with most idealogies.
So you're problem isn't with the idea of women knowing how to cook, your issue is more with the exclusivity/roles and the double standard?
Well that in case, yes I agree.
My dad and mom brought all of us into the kitchen (not just my sister, my 4 brothers too) and taught as ALL how to cook.
Just like I know how to iron my clothes, and my sister knows how to change a tire.
I was approaching this from a life skills viewpoint. Not knowing how to cook is borderline unacceptable imo.

Yes to the bolded
and I like that approach, of teaching all your siblings all kinds of skills, not just handiwork to the boys and cooking/cleaning to the girls![]()
True but in society and on the internet we like to act ignorant to social norms. We all know that a woman knowing how to cook is looked as a plus throughout the world when it comes to her being a mate.
Same as a man that knows how to use his hands around the house or to fix a car.
I can't count how many times I have heard single women or single moms talk about how some dude they were talking to couldn't help (or didn't want to) them with simple shyt like changing a tire or fixing a door knob.

U hit the nail on the headBut there is a growing segment of men and women who want to rebel against these ideas so much that they basically cut off their nose to spite their face. They say, "I'm not going to learn how to cook because that's sexist" or "Just because i'm a guy, that doesn't mean I should hold the door, or fix the flat, or be the one checks for intruders"
