An ex-boyfriend once suggested I cook us dinner rather than going out or ordering in because “it’s free.” This made me think about that and a lot more theweek.com/articles/86448…

This really reminds me of this article (that I've had bookmarked for almost two years) about emotional labour differences between genders.

So often "gender roles" and what's expected from those role are taught to us (often subconsciously through societal norms) from a young age that as adults it feels like we're speaking different languages. Obviously not always the case but I notice a different in day-to-day life.

Sounds like he was friends with my ex, who INSISTED on going out after I suggested grilling at home to save $$, drove around for nearly an hour before settling on a place to eat, then turned to me after parking and said, "I'm gonna have to ask you to chip in for this."

The phrasing alone of "I'm gonna have to ask you to chip in for this" is grounds for divorce

Hi Gabi! I enjoyed and related to the article, though I find it a bit odd that you singled this out as an issue for straight cis men and women. I don't believe there's any reason straight trans women's male partners are any better at doing the work of cooking.

Thank you for the kind words, but I can’t take any credit because I didn’t write it. Just shared it because I related to it 😊

An ex once told me, "Your food tastes good ... but only because you put a lot of fat and salt in it."
Yes Michael, that's called cooking.

You should see how much MORE fat and salt they use at restaurants.
