A well trained specimen will cook for her master without the need of chains.

Seamus- I've been known to go barefoot, but some things are properly regarded as women's work.

Well, I guess barefoot and pregnant's out of the question too, then. *BG*

women should NOT be chained to the stove. They'd get in the way when I was trying to cook.

I have always cooked (well since I first got married way back in the foggy mists of the 20th century), mainly because I was good at it and enjoyed it and my wife didn't and wasn't. Now since I am a single parent I have no choice in the matter, likewise the ironing (a task I despise which I guess everyone else does)... I often despair at those dinosaurs of the male species that think their wives/partners/mothers should be the ones to do all the "homely" stuff, worse still those that think that women are some sort of second class citizens.. that really riles me..

Especially when the likes of Germaine Greer have to write books pointing out the errors of their ways.. which also irritates me.. I see each human being as an individual and don't put any tags to them, be it gender, class or creed and therefore sometimes become peeved when others try to class me, merely because of my sex, along with those male morons who do believe in the outdated axiom that women should be chained to the stove..

I realise the opportunity has now passed Karen, but perhaps your response to his pathetic pleading should have been to sing/recite to him the classic lyrics...

Stop your bitchin'
Get into the kitchen
And rattle, and rattle
Those pots and pans

Not the smart ones....I used to joke like that with my gramma until I tired of feeling the rolling pin crashing into my poor skull....

Actually, I like to cook and I never had a problem doing so when last I was in a relationship. Though I hate to cook if I am the only one eating.....

Today a co-worker was chomping away at some chips and salsa and he remarked, "I'd better eat as much of this as I can now because it's going to have to be my dinner." I asked him why that was as it was only 3:30 in the afternoon. He said, "Because my girlfriend won't be getting home until late tonight." Being of the female persuasion myself I started to fume internally and asked him, "What does your girlfriend have to do with you eating dinner?" He laughed and said, "I'm a lousy cook, I'll admit it!" I then suggested he could at least do "fast food". He just laughed and walked off. So I ask you, is that the way men feel it should be?
