Would you consider cooking to be a 'feminine' trait?
It is neutral. Either you eat or die. Unless you want to eat prepared meals where the way everything is made is done for you or you can have TV dinners. The problem is there is not a huge variety of types of food like: Italian, Mexican, Thai, Japanese, German, French, Mediterranean etc. Yes they may have those types but not mucn to choose from. Other things people go for test do not like to cook are fast food or restaurants which in the long run can be more expensive. Cooking for me gives me a chance to be creative with flavors, textures, cultures etc. To me two positive things bring people together more than anything music and food.

Don't take it personally, but if a man can't cook , he is not a man. It's a skill it has nothing to do with genders. Knowing how to cook a significant meal is knowledge, now days you have to know all the allergies if you work at any restaurant that's knowledge it has nothing to do with if you were a male or a female.
I voted wrong. I meant to say it's not strictly a feminine trait. Actually I find it incredibly sexy when a man knows how to cook and enjoys it.
Kind of off topic of the question but I am old fashioned in some ways. I do believe that if a woman isn't working as much or at all she should be the main cook unless her husband/boyfriend wants to.

Cooking is an ability traditionally attributed to women, but nowadays it is advertised for everyone like there are maaany cooking shows with men cooking and ik many guy friends who like cooking, some are chef who are helping me and I'm really grateful to them!
Maybe only older generations still have the traditional thinking of cooking 🍳👩

No, I consider it to be a trait requiring skill. Knowing you way around a kitchen means knowing what pot to use for what dish, how to chop each item, what knife/utensil to use, what heat to cook on, it's something you learn and to be good at it is an accomplishment :)
Lady or man should know how.

Cooking is a basic skill that every adult should possess. Even if a man works outside the home and the woman doesn't, there will still be times when the woman is unable to prepare a meal and the man needs to do it.
If both partners are working full-time, then it's only fair to divide household tasks like cooking. -
Yes I do consider it because mother's mix their love in the food they make. Women can do it better than men. However, it's my wish to make food for my life partner. Why wouldn't I like to be praised for that?
I know that cooking is a professionally a men thing but women have something that men don't.
We have been taught cooking since 13 years of our age but still my sister can make a better chapati. And i refuse to admit it to her and she teases me in return. Of course women can do it better but the reality is, we guys used to compete with each other so we learned it but girls (our classmates) didn't compete, but they were made to learn cooking, a kind of sexism, so some girls know cooking. But some girls don't know how to cook. Even my mother didn't know how to cook when she married my father. My father knew cooking
Because he had to live alone in a town.
But my mother cooks better. -
Cooking is an activity, not a trait. It's traditionally female oriented, likely because the men traditionally engaged in more physical activities like hunting or farming while women prepped and cooked.
However, the action of cooking is itself not feminine, and with changing technology and society, men are doing it more.
Also, consider professional chefs have traditionally been men. - 823 opinions shared on Food & Beverage topic.
Maybe once upon a time when It was Mom in the kitchen. But as I got older and began Dating and Mating, Many of My Males had their own Spicy Details.
Putting my Male roomie to work tonite, to make his Famous Chicken cutlet Delight. lolxx -
I don`t cook myself (yet) but i consider cooking something that anyone can pick up and be good at in a fairly short amount of time. Altough i probably have this opinion because my grandpa was the cook of his familly and he was a god damn genious, he knew literally everything about cooking and could make up a meal or desert out of anything.
-
I love to cook. And for the percentage of people with food allergies out there, there are a lot more self made cooks in the world. It teaches responsibility and is truly fun.
I dont have a food allergy, but I live with someone who does, and she probably wouldn't be alive if she didn't cook for herself. -
Cooking is like a taste you know? I don't know If that makes sense but I mean that you either like cooking something or not. It doesn't mean that because I'm a girl I enjoy cooking (I do actually but that's not the point😂)
So no i definitely don't believe that it is a feminine trait. Everyone who likes cooking has like the right to cook. There are a lot of men that are chefs and it used to be considered a feminine trait just because women used to do all the housework not for any other reason -
Cooking is human nature. If you can't cook, you won't survive. Everyone should have the BASIC knowledge on how to prepare a simple meal. Cooking has no gender.
-
The culinary arts is a profession dominated by men.
Men have seen a ton of success in this field.
Kinda funny right? You get the PC and feminist crowd complaining about female representation in male dominated careers like engineering but neglect to look at the culinary arts.
Maybe women ought to get back in the kitchen and fire up those stoves?
I dunno, I was told this a while ago so I might be outdated with my info here but it was funny none the less. LOL -
Yes, because my mom, sister, aunts, grandma, and literally just about any woman at my church can cook better than the men that I know, except that pro cooking is stuck in my mind as a male trait because of Gordon Ramsey and my male cousin who has a job as a chef.

DOES THIS LOOK FEMININE TO YOU

cooking is a basic survival technique that not only women should master...
i mean creating something appealing to sustain yourself is not in any way feminine. it's a supportive trait that is actually pretty manly if you associate it with the provider position a man has in this society.
as you see it's just a matter how you frame it ;) -
Not really. I think in Italy, the men cook. Caring for people is feminine, and so when a woman cares for someone by cooking they are being feminine. But cooking as in the actual act of food preparation.. nothing particularly feminine in terms of instinct.
-
It at the end as come down to how you grew up. I was born in an Indian household. If anyone is familiar with Indian households then you know how women in India were always considered to be the "cook". As growing up I was taught women cook and man work from certain people which is completely BS. As a guy, I would love to cook and take care of the household and let my wife work because people we living in 2018 not the 90's

Considering the top paid chefs are men, the majority of Michelin restaurant owners are men, and that most chefs are typically men no I do not consider it a feminine trait. Baking, however, probably is because I associate coffee shops and pastries with women. Cooking is a masculine trait, often requiring strength. Kitchens, especially high and ones, can be very violent.
-
I dont consider guys like Gordon Ramsey to be feminine in the least. As there are a huge portion of top chefs in the world that are male. Cooking is a human trait as we all need to eat.
-
Some might call me misogynistic (I'm not really) but even I think that calling cooking a feminine trait is retarded. If you can't cook, you should be trying to learn to cook. Even if you are married, what are you gonna do when the missus is away? Starve to death?
-
Nope. It's something every able-bodied human should be capable of doing. It's a genderless life skill. If someone doesn't know how to cook and is completely unwilling to learn, I'd consider them a dumbass.
-
My dad did all the cooking when I was growing up because my mom absolutely sucked at it. My boyfriend does all the cooking now because he greatly enjoys cooking, and I'm heading into work at dinner time.

I consider cooking to be a functional trait. Once you're over 12, please make an effort to learn how to fry an egg, and boil pasta.
