I have nothing against division of labor. In my family, my father cooked, and my mother worked (he worked too but mom worked harder and basically made the brunt of the income in our family), and that was expected, accepted, and agreed upon. In any relationship, people have duties that don't overlap, because it's more efficient and functional.

I get that the post is about some sort of passive aggressive general outrage against what I guess is misogyny, but I feel it's just misplaced in this case and a bit self indulgent, like, what she is saying is really "look at me, I made this major cultural discovery, and I would like to both announce it to the world how great I am, as well as admonish those who don't do it".

It's not the message, it's the smugness that gets fucking annoying, because I bet that person does a lot of shit others would consider bad parenting or being straight up immoral, and it irks other people like me.

That was the point.

I don’t have anything against division of labor, that’s totally natural. I don’t like people who believe that cooking is for girls and women only or that mentality.

That's fair. I don't understand it at all as most top chefs in the world are men.

:P

I'm just messing with you, but no, I mean what even is that, men can cook.
