Men do not expect women to know how to cook. They wish women knew how to cook, but the sad fact is that today there are very, very few women who know how to do anything more than boil water.
And out of over 3 billion women in the world only a few know how to cook? Wow, where are you getting your facts, because this is the first I've heard of this. Wow, so all the women in my hometown and all other women I know who know how to cook, which is easily in the triple digits because most women I know can cook, and I know a lot of people, they must have been buying it ready made all these years. And the dinner I cooked last night, must be just water, right?
@Bensbrie Wow, where do you live? Please let all of us men know so we can go there and find one of these many women you say know how to cook. Please! Because in my experience, and every other guy I know, most women today know how to go through a drive-thru or pick up a to-go order, or how heat some water and open a box of mac n' cheese, but that is all.
So, is that what you mean when you say women know how to cook? Making a PB & J sandwich? Because aside from my mother, I do not know a single woman who can make a decent lasagna or ossobuco like I can, or anything else that has more than 4 ingredients in it.
So, please do tell where you live, where this last bastion of female culinary skills survives untouched by the current trend of women who think cooking is some demeaning thing that only oppressed women allow themselves to tolerate. I'll wait...
I live in Mississippi sir. And no, the women here know how to cook, yeah I picked up on the sarcasm in your text. Cook red beans and rice, corn bread, baked or fried chicken, hamburgers, green beans, corn, and so much more. Southern women are good cooks thank you very much. My bread pudding and tres leches cake is stinking delicious! Just because women dont cook where you are from doesn't mean women dont cook at all, there are billions of women and not all of them live at mcdonalds.
And who in Saint Sansiba ever said women are oppressed? I live a pretty fine life even if I have to work and go to university. I'm the one who does more work if its between me and my husband. He says my food is the best! I make good parmesan pasta as well and when he gets a job and I'm done with school hopefully I can stay home for a while and cook and clean, which can be fun when its your own home.
@Bensbrie OMG, you sound amazing. Will you divorce your husband and marry me? Kidding. Your husband is a lucky man. I should have guessed that you live in the South. Just FYI, elsewhere in the US women are not as capable cooks as you.
Just like I dont like to judge all men based on what certain men do, I'm not going to judge all women either. I don't think it's fair to say all men are predators, cause it's not true, even though most sexual predators have been men (even men are molested by men more often when they are young, even though women can certainly be predators as well, it all depends) just like I dont assume all men can change a tire (my husband cant) I dont assume all women dont or can't cook. It always depends. There are a bunch of women who dont know how to cook because no one was there to teach them, women used to teach their daughters this basic and important skill more often. Just like men used to teach their sons certain things. Many men used to teach their sons to be gentlemen and women would teach their daughters to be more lady like. Times change and not always for the better.
Men are expected to grill outside traditionally, plus work, war, home repairs /defense... etc Women traditionally liked cooking to care for their family's well-being.

@Bensbrie I agree with all of that, and I stand by everything I've said here.
Okay, cool
Men are expected to grill outside traditionally, plus work, war, home repairs /defense... etc
Women traditionally liked cooking to care for their family's well-being.
We cook outside on the grill and they're supposed to cook inside
I expect everyone to be able to cook to some degree
A lot of men do cook and know how to cook. Most Cooks in restaurants are men
Probably because their mothers knew how to cook. Simplest answers are always the most likely.
Probably for the same reason women expect men to know how to use tools and fix things
In my country food is important and both men and women are expected to know how to make good food.
Ignorance, mostly.
Only sexist backwards men expect that
Taught to cook as soon as I was tall enouph to seethe water boil.
It's kind of Sexist, honestly...
Men don't care about men.
Because thwy are selfish
They are assholes.
Women can cook?
