You know what sucks? Men seem incapable of taking care of themselves because they were never taught how. I think back on my childhood and I notice that by age 7 or so I was being actively taught homemaking skills such as cooking, sewing, first aid, and laundry. I went to culinary day camps during summer, Mom taught me her recipes, and Dad even taught me a few tricks from the restaurant business. My cousin, let's call him 'Jackary', asked to sign up for one of these cooking camps and he got tons of guff for doing it from his brother and his friends at the snooty private middle school. I think they taught Jackary how to make pasta sauces, because to this day he only knows how to make spaghetti carbonara. When we were in HS my sister gave "grilled cheese lessons" to our cousins, because the other male cousin, 'Woshua', did not know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich at age 14. My man! Sis and I were making full Thanksgiving dinners by age 14.
None of the American guys I ever dated knew shit about cooking; in a pinch they'd eat palm hearts and tuna fish straight out of the can because cooking looks like forbidden alchemy to them. They act like that because they were taught cooking is 'woman stuff' and actively discouraged from learning how to cook.
