if you had something productive in that post, I would respond, but you don't, so i move on.
Dee, I cook up a storm. Cooking is not a gender-specific job, it's a location-specific chore. If you have to cook as a chore, it generally falls upon the woman because women are generally tasked with the chore of rearing the children, which invariably leaves them trapped at home. Washing clothes, doing dishes, cooking, are all "house" chores. I live alone, and thus I do the house chores.
To the point, it's not jobs that define men or women, it's interests. If i'm interested in makeup, lipstick, nylon stockings, and pillow parties, i'm failing in the man department. Does that make me less of a man, no. But it makes me less attractive to most women. So, the motivation here is to be attractive to the opposite sex, and that's where the behaviors come from.
