Women and their cooking



Question 1
- If you get picked up at the airport by a man, you spend the night at his house, he orders a pizza for dinner, you eat, sleep and leave the next day, reach your home ... what will you tell about the man to your family?

Question 2 - If you get picked up at the airport by a woman, you spend the night at her house, she orders a pizza for dinner, you eat, sleep and leave the next day, reach your home ... what will you tell about the woman to your family?

Question 3 - If you get picked up at the airport by a family, you spend the night at their house, they order a pizza for dinner, you eat, sleep and leave the next day, reach your home ... what will you tell about the family to your family?

Here is a generalized answer sheet for these questions -

Answer 1 - the man was awesome, warm, and welcoming, he went out of the way to take care of me.

Answer 2 - the woman picked me up fine but you know what, she didn't even cook for me, she ordered pizza, oh how much did I miss home-cooked food.

Answer 3 - the family picked me up, the man has a beautiful house, but you know what, the woman didn't even cook for me, she ordered pizza, oh how much did I miss home-cooked food.

I personally have experienced being judged on my cooking enthusiasm and skills many many times. So it does not matter what I did for the guests they always complained behind my back saying she didn't cook for me.

It is expected of women that they are welcoming and warm by cooking for the guests, this is never an expectation from the men. I don't understand these kinds of people. Most of the new generation ladies do not have their hobby/pastime set as cooking, they do not even boast about their cooking skills and nor do I. But don't get me wrong, I eat, simple home-cooked, fresh food every day, I don't cook because I am a woman but because it is a good idea to eat home-cooked meals (at least 9/10). I do not like to cook, I am not a confident cook either so if there was a huge party of sorts then the biggest way I can help is by staying away from the kitchen, and guess what, I know many more ladies who are like me.

How many of you were told this phrase that 'the road to a man's heart goes through his stomach'.

If someone tells me that phrase then I tell them I would rather get to a person's heart through their brain, trust me many men have one. 

How many times have you been for a lunch/dinner party where women are in the kitchen while men are sitting outside in the living room, chatting away... I don't understand that... and I don't just sit there thinking why are the women cooking and men are sitting outside ... I go out and about and express it, speak about it, sometimes nicely and sometimes harshly, does not matter if people call me a madwoman, there are people who laugh at me and they don't even understand that the joke is actually on them.  orthodox/idiotic/regressive thought process is the laughable thing in today's times. 

It is high time the world changes, we are an advanced/intelligent species to be living with such idiotic customs. It is high time that we stop judging women based on if they cooked for us or not.
