I never understood what true wealth was until I went to Uni. My roommate was extremely ill equipment for life. They had never done laundry, never cooked(even a microwave), and never cleaned up after themselves. They wore clothes until the clothes smelt bad or ripped, and then throw them out. Then someone from home would send them a package with brand new clothes. They demolished their meal plan and gained a bunch of weight because they had never had to make any decisions about food before. They trashed our unit because the idea of cleaning was non existent. There is a class of people that have never done anything for themselves and are completely out of touch. Also these are the fucking people that run the government. Their parents were going to pay me $5000 for putting up with their kids shit for a year. Until you have seen this, you will never understand what the word wealthy means.
No, they explained to their parents “that they(the poors) don’t do stuff like that.” That is the story about how I learned who the owning class is. People just have no idea what it is like to have that much money. We have very little im common with them. If you make 500k a year, you are still part of the working class.
It’s not just about class, but sexism. Cooking is women’s work.
While I may be older than most here, I was one of the few among my friends to cook, as a guy. I never got teased directly but people would say things in my presence. I loved to bake so always made desserts for
My family, plus there were a few dishes that were always “mine”.
When I got married, we did both agree that we liked traditional roles, but she didn’t let me cook. Sure parts of it were that she is the better cook and also the more picky eater, but a lot of it was “her role”. She felt anxious about not doing “her part”. It was too ingrained that cooking was women’s work
But we both made sure our boys could cook. Now that they’re home from college for the summer, i try to get them to cook at least once a week
I knew how to use an oven at 20, so I’m guessing he it’s probably from the class that doesn’t really ever go into the kitchen.
