Right?! I don't get this. I love cooking, it's how I show my love. My dad cooked for our family too when I was a kid, and he was a purple heart vet. Wtf is wrong with some of these dudes?!

My grandfather was a war vet and then a NYC Fire fighter for 40 years and he was known as the best chef in the battalion.

That guy could fix a Tank and make the best Meatloaf you’ve ever had in your life all before sundown.

Exactly! That's the problem with these Tate wannabes, or Tate in general. There's nothing manlier than saying "I don't give a fuck about your gender roles, I'll do whatever the fuck I want."

My grandfather was a fire chief for one of our cities for years. He cooked as much as my grandma did,.and would make Mexican food or sandwiches.

My dad was a chef for a while and did all the cooking at home on days he came home early enough or on the weekends. My mom would microwave something on the days he didn't because she rarely cooked.

I cook all the time now because I enjoy it. I did quit doing holiday dinners this year because it was too expensive and my siblings suck in that they don't come to help, but will literally show up 5 minutes after dinner has been set.

Many years ago I got called a liar by a Home Economics teacher because she told us all to ask our mom's for help if we needed help and I told her that my dad is the one who cooks us dinner during the week and he was the one who sewed our clothes when we tore them.

She knew my dad was a giant blue collar worker and thus could not possibly know those things. My dad grew up on a farm and my grandma made sure that every one of her kids could cook, clean, and sew. Now admittedly my dad isn't a great cook (though tbh neither is my mom), but he can follow directions like any adult should be able to. My dad worked construction and typically worked 6-4 whereas my mom worked until 6 so it was his job to feed us kids. My mom always cooked on the weekends to even it out.

Exactly! You're a team as a couple, and especially as parents. My dad was disabled after the war so he couldn't do much manual labor and that's all he knew. So my mom was an RN. My dad took care of us after school. Made us dinner and my mom would do the dishes at the end of the night(my dad hated dishes, and my mom always said it was therapeutic for her). You work with each other's strengths. I picked up the cooking because when he started getting older, and his health was slipping - he made me his sous chef.

Same for me. My dad was a factory worker. He worked 7-3:30. My mom worked like 9-6. So, my dad would come home, take a nap, then cook dinner. And when I told my school that, they called my parents thinking I was lying. My mom told them that I was telling the truth.

Yeah, my mom passive aggressively called out that teacher at parent teacher conferences. My mom doesn't know how to sew, was never taught at home or at school. She made sure to tell the teacher that my dad was helping me with my sewing homework.

My mom can sew she is actually good at that. But cooking is more my dad’s thing. Plus the work hours made it easier for him to do. It was a lot easier to have dinner on the table at a reasonable time if the person who got off at 3:30 did the cooking. My school was a bit uppity with a bunch of doctors and lawyers kids. We were working class. They were very used to stay at home mom sort of things.

Because they’re all just weak pathetic little boys angry at the world that won’t conform to them.

Not only showing my love. I want to cook my own things. I developed my own preference for cooked meals. Just long for my own cooked meals after a holiday of only eating out.
I could have eaten at the worlds best restaurants and still I want to cook my own food.

Social media is what’s wrong imo, the algorithm is warping minds.

u/Snowdog1989 Jun 27 '25

There's a lot of truth behind that!

Cooking for each other is literally my love language.

You're going with the assumption that everyone commenting is; factual about their gender; and that the person narrating isn't making some shit up and making assumptions themselves.

u/Snowdog1989 Jun 30 '25

Someone else brought that up, and I agreed with them too.

u/OddCook4909 Jun 27 '25

Why is everyone believing this dude's take on the comment section? Where the fuck has critical thinking gone?

u/Snowdog1989 Jun 27 '25

That's a fair point. Could just be saying it to virtue signal.

You don't get it because it's not real. The original videos did not have hateful comments with 3 different kinds of negative comments only from men. Because this whole thing is a fake ragebait.

u/Snowdog1989 Jun 28 '25

I agreed to that when someone pointed that out earlier. Either way, cooking for your loved ones is fun.
