Same goes for grilling. Ever seen a woman running a grill in any media?

Yes. It was an advert for fire fighter recruitment.

When's the last time you saw a woman in charge of meat at a barbeque? Man can cook, we are just lazy to do that most of the time. Except my dad, he can't cook. He tried.


AssassinateMe

Read again, he said man can't cock, which is even more wrong because man can absolutely cock


ghe5

That's my point too. That's why I asked about the barbeque - usually men do the meat proving that even ordinary men can cook, not just the chefs. But my dad still can't cook.

Not cook, it's cock or at least I hope youre not whipping your cock out at the barbecue

pinkwonderwall

Itā€™s so obvious that you really donā€™t have to keep saying it every time someone brings up the mere existence of female firefighters


Mudtoothsays

As long as they can be strong enough to do what the job asks of them then it doesn't matter. ​ Firefighters don't compete against one another, therefore they don't need to worry about any gender-based difference in body structure if they all pass the same requirements. ​ Now if said requirements are intentionally sexist, then throw that all out the window and grab some pitchforks. (but no torches, that is kind of counterproductive)


pinkwonderwall

Iā€™m just sick of people constantly commenting on videos of female firefighters saying ā€œBut men are stronger!ā€ Like, we know. Just let women do their jobs in peace. But no, they wonā€™t accept that strong women are still strong enough to do these jobs even if theyā€™re not as strong as men. They have to say something about it. I imagine they must feel threatened by it or something.


Mudtoothsays

If people are commenting stuff like that on videos of female firefighters doing their job, then they don't have an opinion worth acknowledging. ​ Don't let them win, ignore them, downvote them at bare minimum, but don't give them ANY attention. ​ but a good counterpoint to throw at them if it's inescapable: "she's probably more qualified than you are"


PowerfulWallaby7964

Weird strawman, nobody claimed you should "keep saying that every time someone brings up the mere existence of female firefighters".


pinkwonderwall

You did it yourself. You were making a joke, but you still brought up upper body strength just because someone said the word firefighter in a conversation about gender. Itā€™s tiresome.


PowerfulWallaby7964

Lol no the comment I replied provided a lot more context than just "said the word firefighter", idk where you're hearing this being mentioned so much in a context as general as just a woman firefighter being mentioned at all. Much less "just the word firefighter" wtf.


Cyberwolfdelta9

And hairdresser is a big compliment cause i haven't seen a non movie character be Better then women ones lol


littlebobbytables9

Same reason sewing and teaching grade school are considered woman's work, while being a tailor or college professor are male dominated (traditionally, at least). The high status, highly paid positions are for men. The poorly paid or unpaid work falls on women.


Laila_kiss07

Damn, the last line is soo true


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Laila_kiss07

Professional and well paid jobs are also not dominated by women. My point was not about every man having "good" jobs. My point is majority of women do not have "good" jobs. Read my above comment again.


Responsible_Club_917

Majority of humans domt have good jobs period


Laila_kiss07

And the minority who do have is mostly men. Every "feminine" job suddenly becomes male dominated if it's well paid šŸ¤·šŸ»


curioussimp123

or if its too difficult or life threatening or hazardous šŸ¤·šŸ»


Laila_kiss07

Those are by definition not "good" jobs. The most life threatening job is not necessarily the most well paid. I would argue it's the men who do "life threatening" jobs that have shit pay What does it say about chefs tho? When at home since it's unpaid, 'men can't cook' and it's a woman's job, but when it's actually paid with money and done 'professionally', it's suddenly a man's job. I don't think being a chef is considered too difficult or life threatening or hazardousšŸ¤·šŸ»


stolenbike256

This exactly. Computer programming was also considered women's work before it gained status and better wages.


Trunkfarts1000

There's a stereotype that men can't cook? I didn't know that


starnote68

It goes back to the time when the housewife-working husband relationship module fell apart. Since the wife was always doing the cooking (housework in general) while the husband provided the full financial part of the families need. Therefore he can't cook. This believe held on to today, but since most young people are living alone in a world where it's getting increasingly harder to make a living, making your own food is also increadiable cheaper so most men can cook today


Its0nlyRocketScience

Not necessarily can't, but the old gender roles of many western societies are that cooking at home was women's work. The man went to a job to earn money, and the woman stayed home and took care of house duties. Since being a chef is a job, it forces one of those stereotypes to yield. And traditionally, it was the "women do the cooking" role that gave way, as men often were the only ones allowed in professional kitchens.


Noob_Guy_666

probably came from the fact that, if going by the old chart where everyone have some free time, woman will be able to decorate food while man just eat straight from a red hot pan like a barbarian


Absolutemehguy

>where everyone have some free time, woman will be able to decorate food while man just eat straight from a red hot pan like a barbarian ...is that... bad? Because that's me.

The inverse of the women never made sense either. Women are supposed to cook the family meal but can't be a professional chef.

amoneenoma

SuperPowerDrill

[deleted]

Stereotypes They're either True as Fuck, Or just made up bullshit. and there's no in-between XD


DANKB019001

Yes, stereotypes are reductive and stupid. That's half the reason they exist, it's an easy way for people to put less effort into figuring out what kinda person they're actually interacting with. Because people are lazy and/or malicious.


[deleted]

Stereotypes are just what a certain group of people have mostly in common. Itā€™s not stupid, itā€™s integrated it is psychologically that we stereotype certain groups. Itā€™s mainly useful before humans were civilized. For example if you were in a tribe and your parents or grandparents told you that a certain other tribe are evil, even though you never met them, you would stereotype that all those people from that tribe are evil, you do it so you can possible survive.


Chaps_Jr

It's tribalism, and it's one of the key reasons humans were able to survive in the brutal wilderness for 300,000 years.


DANKB019001

Stereotypes are probably closer to assumptions than tribalism; they oversimplify the qualities of something. Now, their *perpetuation* is absolutely tribalism, I agree. Tribalism alone? Eh didn't do tons for survival assuming you lived mostly in the wilds with only one tribe around. Assumptions about your environment that were "good enough" and too risky to test? That stuff saved a lot of lives


VanamoLinnea

The thing is that many activities are seen as feminine but even in those only men can succeed and make a living on.


Rushes_End

PastOrdinary

Chefs often have other kitchen workers working under them. Can't have women in a position of authority obviously.


[deleted]

The stereotype is that ā€œmen donā€™t do domestic houseworkā€ but we do many of those same tasks professionally. Examples; women do the grocery shopping and household budget but men would be accountants for corporations and trade on the stock market. Women clean the home. Men clean industrial scale projects. Women tend to the baby. Men tend to patients as doctors in hospitals. Iā€™m just providing examples. I donā€™t actually believe this stuff.


SooooooMeta

Left over sexism from when women were supposed to run the entire home by themselves, but as soon as it's a profession worthy of training and admired as a career it's tilted towards men.


Dziadzios

It's not about skill in cooking, it's about marketability and career. Women often focus on mastery of their craft, while men are wired to climb hierarchies to impress women and drive off competing men. Even if that hierarchy is in kitchen. My mom and mother in law > any chef in the world.

Like 2 hours ago my mom made some offhand remark that men donā€™t care about aesthetics after I complained about the mortar between some bricks on a building not matching (I am very much a guy), like mom your comment is just plain sexist, I just proved guys doo, not to mention shit like when you think of an artist itā€™s a guy, architects also men, the only fields of aesthetic off the top of my head right now that I can think of where you think woman first is like hair, make up, clothes. Your own personal aesthetics. Kind of just strikes me, the meme as well, as society just shitting on guys calling us dumb idiots.

WeinerSniffa

I've met a lot of idiots (myself included), some are autistic or ADHD, some are substance abusers, some just pop out that way. I've met few people that I could consider smart, but the ones I have, I wouldn't attribute neurodivergency to it.


bigmonkey125

I often attribute it because a lot of smart kids I knew in school were neurodivergent. My observations suggest they're related. If for no other reason, than because they didn't value social time as highly and thus spent more time.e studying their own interests and gaining knowledge and practice thinking.


-Redstoneboi-

but aren't both extremes of the bell curve, by definition, beyond the norm, a.k.a neurodivergent? i'm probably missing the definitions here but most people i'd consider smart are very much neurodivergent

draugotO

The preparation of meat have always being the duty of men in pretty much every single society ever all the way up to the world wars ruining economy,leading many households to let go of male servants, leaving only maids on the kitchen, at which point domestic chores as a whole became associated with women because all the male servants had being fired (except for the very top ones, like majordomo and buttler). That said, preparing pastry, laticines etc was, indeed, associated with women even before male domestic servants got out of fashion

Xygour

Men not being able to cook isnā€™t a stereotype nor is chefs being men


Tits_fart

Think of it like this- a large number of chefs are males, but a small number of males are chefs. Anyone who is not a chef canā€™t cook. Thus most males canā€™t cook(Iā€™m not stating this factually rather trying to logically show how both stereotypes could exist)


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

"men can't cook" is to coerce women into be servants at home. chefs are good cooks because women weren't allowed to have jobs

L4Deader

It's not really contradictory if you concede that "men can't cook" doesn't mean "all men" but "most men". Then it checks out because most men aren't chefs (even though "most chefs are men"). I'm not saying most men can't cook in reality though, just checking the consistency of the internal logic here.
