Response To Chris Week 6

I agree with you, it's something that negatively effects both women and men. Women are expected to bake and cook, putting them in a submissive role in which they are expected to cater to other peoples needs. Men, on the other hand, are ridiculed when they bake or cook, or people don't believe that the man made the cake ( like in your case. ) It's like when people find out a guy can cook all of a sudden its "wow, what a great catch." and things like that. The masculinity issue plays a huge factor in this, but why is baking such a feminine thing? Men grill while women bake? Not in all houses. I wonder what we can do to help reverse these stereotypes that are deeply rooted into our society?
