I love to cook though. Not as much as one of my friends, who brings cookies almost everyday to school, but I love cooking. Until I burn my arm with the oven. Then I stay away for a while, lol.

baking or cooking? x]

those are two major different categories in the culinary profession...
lol

I used to do totally nothing, but now we have a chore list and I do the dishes twice a week. Both my parents work full time but my mum does the bulk of the work which isn't particularly fair. So that's why we got a chore list.

I do those jobs. It's only natural... Isn't it?

I mean, I can understand the general concept that men are dirty... But everyone should - at least - be obligated to keep the house and their clothes clean... That shouldn't translate into just a ladies job.

As for sewing...
Well, that's a different story... I could understand that.

and other things of the sort x3

Pfff... all part of a bachelors day... erm... week
...except for the sewing part... i do repair my clothes only on extreme cases, other than that, i prefer to replace the peace of clothing that has obviously reached its natural end of life.

And i guess you need to be a reaaaly apathetic if you are living on your own and are avoiding all these chores, or you are wealthy enough to eat out of the house regularly (hire a personal cook lol), employ a maid and whatnot :P

those tasks are considered 'feminine' in some cultures/philsophies/whatever more than others....
i feel sewing should be done by everyone
as is everything else listed there....
and if you didn't notice...
xD
that list is just meant as a small set of "possible" examples....
lolz

Sewing is different. It is optional in that there are easier, more convenient alternatives.
It's not like keeping the house clean or washing the dishes... Those things are more basic, and, therefore, apply to a larger population.

Sewing is more of a specific skill -- or even an art.

Eating is basic. Preparing the food is more specific.
But, back on track ~ Not everyone can cook, nor do they have, these days.

... And one could easily live off of McDonalds or Pizza Hut. I'm sure a lot of Americans do already. XP
