That’s so weird, because it’s such a manly profession out in restaurants and the career version of it. But the second cooking happens at the home, now it’s woman’s work (to these toxic masculinity guys). So bizarre.
My father in law used to get on my case a lot about cooking. I love to cook. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and have done it professionally. He wasn’t nasty about it but he’s an older fella (being that I’m 50) and he used to say “I just can’t understand.” He has been around good food his entire life made all around the world. I asked him to name one professional chef that was female aside from Julia Child. At the time there weren’t many well known in that boys club yet. Then I explained.that my workshop ( a big thing in his life) was the kitchen. Gadgets, fire and sharp things that can lop off fingers everywhere you look. It took him a long time to accept it but he worked it out.

I’m guessing they view cooking at home as unmanly because it’s main purpose is taking care of others.
While a career in cooking is stressful and difficult. Very manly indeed.
