My gut reaction was to hate this treat servant addict. Upon reflection, this type of person is unlikely to know the pleasure cooking. That’s actually kinda sad tbh.
yeah a shocking number of people can't cook, and if you focus in on just men that number becomes downright alarming
It's a skill, and trying to teach yourself can be expensive and disapointing. A lot of men don't get taught any home ec skills in their childhood and hit adulthood with no idea how to cook, clean, take care of a house. It's one of those "patriachy hurts men too" things.
you're absolutely right. i hope my comment didn't come off as blaming or unnecessarily insensitive. i was raised as a boy and i was easily the only one i knew who had to do their own laundry, dishes, cooking etc until mastery. it's a sad state of affairs that that's not considered normal for every child (excepting differences in ability ofc).
No, no, you're right. Um. I wanted to elaborate because I find many people are dismissive of the difficulty of trying to learn to cook from scratch. It's kind of a pet issue that intersects with food deserts, food instability, the time demands on working class people, shitty kitchens in shitty apartments, and a bunch of other things that conspire to make it difficult for people to cook good food for themselves at home. I've been in so many discussions about it over the years it's almost a reflex now.
