I asked a guy whether he cooks or whether he expects women to do all the work?

Is it a rude question? Because he once told me that working women manage household activities as well. It's taken as a given. So my impression of him is that he expects women to do all the work.

It's a damn shame, for ANYONE, not to be able to cook. Cooking is the ultimate love, for others! It's actually pathetic.

@Oster1 Have known a couple of women, older too, that bragged that they DID NOT COOK…ever. So they never cooked a meal in their life. They married men who were able to take them out for meals every day. She wouldn’t even slap a sandwich together to bring to work for lunch, always went and bought one even if it was a packaged one in a store. But unfortunately one became a widow about the time she retired and she couldn’t afford to keep that up on what she was making in retirement money, and the other divorced in her late 50’s. Imagine having children and never learning to cook anything? What good is it to live in a home with a kitchen?
