There was once a conversation at my work through which I discovered that most of my male coworkers enjoy baking (and yes, I also enjoy baking).

Simultaneously funniest and saddest part of that was one lady sitting through that conversation with thousand yards stare, who previously said that her husband, in terms of household chores, doesn't even know how to use washing machine.

    It's still prevalent unfortunately.

    My ex-husband once woke me up at 4am to yell at me about not having clean socks.

    Sad that it had to happen to you.

    I also absolutely acknowledge that in society that we have today - things like cooking or even basic ones like proper hygiene (as in not using one bar of soap for everything) are something that is expected from women by default, but men doing that are treated as something special.

    That said, I'm kind of a hypocrite since while I tout about all that, I definitely used my baking to impress women. 🌝
