That reminds me of my good friend I've had since I was 11. Her mom didn't cook, and neither did her grandmother. Her dad was a great cook though.

She is now grown and has children. One day a few years ago, I was at her house for dinner. I got to witness the whole thing. She took some chicken thighs out of the package, plucked them in a baking dish, without even washing them, not to mention the lack of any seasoning. In the meantime, she was boiling brocolli. The chicken thighs came out of the oven after 15 minutes, while the brocolli had boiled for an hour. The meat was raw inside, and the brocolli was a pale mush. I declined my plate telling her I really wasn't hungry. Yuck.

I think some people just don't like to cook, and have no sense of cooking. However, many young women have grown up with busy parents and mothers who work, so they have grown up on fast food, and never learned to cook, unless they went out of their way to learn because they wanted to.

It is a question of wanting to learn to cook.

Modern women can victimize all they want, it does not
take a PHD or advance knowlege to cook and not just open the
box. There are cooking classes. Reading a one page PAMPHLET on sanitary practices available from the various agriculture departments is unexcusable for someone who knows they lack knowledge.


I have never found intentional ignorance of domestic issues attractive in woman
(on any subject).

If a woman can not be bothered to improve herself for her
family over one small issue, what else will she not be bothered? All the small "can be bothered"'s add up until people say "we just grew apart."

I think a lot of the same thing happens with men now ---men of my father's generation were more inclined to fix their own cars and knew more than to change a flat tire but today you see men calling for a mechanic to come rescue them as often as you see women do that.
