The working world, when it was male dominant, was 100x more fun to work in. Guys could "shoot-the-shit" with each other, say whatever they wanted and competitiveness was seen as fun not as "toxic". The work environment when it was male dominant made people better because the men would compete with one another and strive to improve. Work was actually a lot more "fun" and in some ways it was a "safe-space" for men to get away from all the drama and toxicity that existed in their personal lives.
Women have utterly destroyed the workplace. Men's lives are inarguably much worse with women in the workplace. Nothing good has come of this.
Cooking an hour a day? Clearly you've never cooked full meals before. I spend 4-5 hours a day in the kitchen to do these things:
Make breakfast (30 minutes)
Make bread (30 minutes)
Prep for Supper (30 minutes, 1 hour for more difficult meals)
Make lunch (30 minutes)
Make Supper (1 hour, for simpler meals. Traditional meals take more time, 2-3 hours)
Manage the ferments (20 minutes)
Clean (30 minutes)
That doesn't include time spent getting and organizing the groceries. Note that I don't have the time necessary to make proper traditional meals like I would like, just simple things. So Soups, Casseroles, Roasts and so on. Prep includes things like homemade broths and stocks for those soups. For the traditional meals, double all the times.
Why do you do this?
You can skip half those meals and for "traditional" meals most of the prep time should be passive. Throw beans or lentils in a bowl to soak, put stuff in pot to stew, or brine things in a jar or bag.
You are incredibly inefficient in your cooking. You do not even need breakfast as none of your family are working in the fields. You can easily get away with a small lunch, a few protein snacks for variety, and a large dinner.
Tell my hungry Toddlerthat breakfast can be skipped, then.
And the prep time is definitely not passive. I soak beans, yes, but also chop and clean vegetables, caramelize onions, make doughs, wash rice and barley etc.
I don't need to clean meat very much or remove the silverskin, because my wife is a vegetarian, but that is also part of prep and it's not passive.
Traditional meals, like this, or this, or this all require active prep and involvement.
You know why I do it? Because this type of food, eaten with my family, is part of inculturation and education as well as binding the family together.
Here's a really tasty cookie recipe, so you can have something nice for yourself. Merry Christmas.
So what you're saying is you make a lavish banquet every day, complete with a brand new loaf of bread on the daily, and you still only work half the amount of time a man is expected to?
I am a man, I work full time. I also feed the family because my wife's mother is a fucking harridan and she never learned to cook like I can--it makes me happy to feed my family, so she baby-wrangles and I cook.
