It depends on where you live and what type of environment you grow up in. I can tell you that in a lot of southern and/or rural areas of the US, old school household gender roles are still frequently adhered to. That's the case for much of my family for instance, most of the women still do the bulk of the cooking. My family is also sort of split as to how they treat women as well. There is a significant chunk of my family who still hold the sexist "women belong in the kitchen and are inferior to men" mindset (and it's not going away anytime soon as even the kids are being taught this), that's on my maternal grandmother's side. My maternal grandfather's side is immensely more egalitarian and doesn't generally demand adherence to gender roles, but even there, the women STILL usually gravitate towards cooking.

My family was more like “you will learn to cook or you will STARVE”.

To hammer the point home, dad gave me an army surplus mess kit, a flint-and-steel, and three eggs. Then he locked the door to the house.

I learned to cook real quick. 😁

Is it too late to call Child Protective Services?

That tree, sitting there on top of a flagship attraction for thirty years, means B'rer Fox arguably had a bigger park presense than a significant amount of the villain line-up villains.

Which is kind of funny and now kind of sad and not really impressive because it's not like he did anything to get his house up there, but still...not bad for the comedic villain from a banned movie.

So many older guys make jokes when I do things at work they say things like "can she cook too?" Also they will ignore me and talk to the men about how to work anything or find anything. This could just be at home depot with their clientele but that's the world I'm inundated with daily.
That's sad to hear and hopefully will be a thing from the past one day soon. There's learning to be done on both sides too as there's still lot's of ladies who say things like "Typical man" and roll their eyes, so it's not completely one way. As a man that really doesn't bother me as I understand the context in which it's said and more often than not it's done as levity in a fun way. I'd happily ask you for help at Home Depot if you worked there, to me I'd realise that by working there that you'd know your stuff.

Whilst some 'sexism' is done in a hurtful or demeaning way, it can also be done in jest especially if it's somebody that you know. I'll often tease my wife by saying stupid stuff like "Would you like some new washing up gloves for Christmas" as between the two of us it's done in a playful way. She'll reply with stuff equally as inappropriate but because we both know neither of us are sexist it's all good. I'll always make sure that people outside my circle don't hear me say it as I wouldn't want to offend anyone who didn't know in what context the comment was made.

I think if it being more like that embarrassing lower back tattoo of the ex-wife’s name. Probably better to cut out the memory and change it up a bit. 😉

Sad thing is that they could have saved a but if time and effort had they simply reshaped it into a cypress stump. Maybe add a few cypress knees.

I posted this in another thread, but it works here too:

The year, 2171.

The observation theatre is paced; a mixture of business attire and lab coats are sprinkled among the crowd; a Mickey ear hat is seen among the crowd; all looking down on the operating room.

Propped in the corner of the operating room is a Mickey plush wearing a surgical mask.

On the operating table there is a body completely covered by a white sheet. The body is connected to various machines; the medical team is working to finalize all the settings as the crowd looks on in total silence.

The silence is broken with whispers and gasps from the theatre as the head surgeon lifts the sheet to expose the head.

The head is that of Walt Disney.

Speaking through their mask, the head surgeon speaks into the microphone, “Reanimation will begin now”.

The head surgeon presses a button and various syringes inject substances into the body. Injections complete, the entire space is in total silence.

All of a sudden, the body erupts into violent convulsions!

The theatre reacts with screams and crying, the medical team is shouting out various readings, the head surgeon, barks back with commands and the team quickly responds and after a couple of scary minutes that seemed like an eternity, the body is now motionless and the theatre settles back into silence.

A team member turns a dial and over the speakers we hear the familiar flat line tone of the heart monitor.

The head surgeon says, “paddles please.”

The head surgeon says, “charge to 200”, the medical team all step back.

The head surgeon presses the paddles to the body’s chest and the body violently arches up and the theatre reacts.

The flat line tone continues. Sobs can be heard from the theatre.

The head surgeon barks, “push epinephrine.”

The head surgeon says, “charge to 220!”

The head surgeon presses the paddles to the body’s chest and the body violently arches up as the theatre reacts again.

In the tone, we now hear the heartbeat! The theatre erupts into cheers and celebration!

The head surgeon speaks into the microphone, “silence please”.

The medical team checks their machines, calling out various readings. From the looks of everyone in the operating room, all looks calm and routine. All reading checked, the call outs end, and we are back to complete silence.

From the theatre, someone yells out “Wake up Walt!”

The head surgeon speaks into the microphone, “silence please”.

The head surgeon now moves to be right near Walt’s head. He is checking various things, like pupil reactions etc, he says “push dexmethylphenidate.”

The syringe injects the dexmethylphenidate into Walt’s arm.

Walt begins to move his head and we hear a moan from Walt.

The theatre erupts into cheers and celebration!

The head surgeon speaks into the microphone, “silence please”.

The head surgeon asks the medical team, “How are things looking?” The medical team members casually reports each reading, and all looks fine.

The head surgeon now leaning over Walt’s head and whispers,

“Walt, Walt, please try opening your eyes.”

Walt opens his eyes. The theatre is blocked from seeing this.

The head surgeon takes Walt’s hand and asks, “Walt, squeeze my hand.”

Walt is able to squeeze the head surgeon’s hand.

The head surgeon asks Walt, “Can you give me thumbs up?”

Walt raises his hand and gives the thumbs up at the same time, the head surgeon, moves away so the theatre sees this.

The theatre erupts into cheers and celebration! The head surgeon lets the celebration continue for several minutes.

The head surgeon speaks into the microphone, “This concludes our procedure. Walt will need some time acclimate to his new body, so it will be a while before he’s ready for questions.

The theatre erupts into applause, and someone yells out, “We love you, Walt!”

Walt hears this and smiles.

The crowd files out of the theatre. Everyone is happily talking as they leave.

Walt is wheeled to a room to continue to recuperate and rest.

The next day, Walt wakes in his room. He doesn’t know what day it is, what time it is; there are no windows in this room, and to Walt, it looks futuristic. “This room gives me some ideas for Tomorrowland”, he says to himself.

A man enters the room and takes a seat next to Walt.

“Hello Walt, my name is Bob Iger. For many, many generations my family has been running The Walt Disney Company”.

Walt’s eyes open wide, “generations? What are you talking about? The last thing I knew I was working on a new TV project that I wanted Kurt Russell for and working on EPCOT for the Florida project. As soon as I am out of here I must get back to work on EPCOT”.

The heart monitor alarm goes off; a nurse is in the room quickly.

The nurse said, “I told you this was going to happen.” The nurse gives Walt a shot and he calms down.

Bob says, “Walt let me try to explain. You have been, ah, in a coma, for a long time now. What year do you think it is?”

Walt says, “Are you kidding me, its 1966.”

Bob says, “The year is 2171.”

Walt’s eyes open wide, he asks, “What about my family, what about, Lillian, Diane, Sharon, Roy?”

Bob says, “All gone, decades ago.”

Walt’s eye’s fill with tears. He asks, “Why did you wake me?”

Bob says, “Frankly Walt, we need your help.”

Walt asks, “Is there a problem with Disneyland; the Florida project?”

Bob says, “Well they no longer exist.”

Walt asks, “What happened?”

Bob says, “Well that’s a long story. We need your help here.”

Walt asks, “Where am I anyway?”

Bob says, “That’s the thing, long story short, Disneyland; the Florida project are gone because the Earth is gone. We are on Mars. All of humankind lives on Mars now.

Bob looks into Walt’s eyes and says, “Mars needs a Disneyland.”

After a pause to take in what Bob has said, Walt eyes open bright. With excitement he says, “Let’s get to work! I have an idea about an attraction based on Song of the South.”

Bob accesses his meta implant in his head. In his ear the implant reports back “No data found for Song of the South; information was most likely was lost in the cyber wars of 2060.”

Bob says to Walt, “Hmm, I have never heard of it. Whatever you say Walt, let’s get to work!”

I enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing it!

But "can she cook too" is a joke, and a joke made by older guys. They're likely not serious.
Even most older guys (I'm 59) realize that woman haven't done the cooking any more than men since the 1970's.
We were in our teens and twenties in the 80's when most of that gender role specificity went by the wayside.
I do 99.99999% of the cooking, and ALL of the food shopping for that matter - in my house.
Add that to the yard work.
I do a great deal of the cooking in my house too. I really miss my Mom though. Our last movie we saw together was Coco before she passed. She taught me to cook a number of things. Never learned how to make fried squash. My Mom would come over and make fried squash and go to movies etc. She was my best friend. Maybe I should sit with my sister sometime and learn to make that cornmeal with egg salt and squash. My grandmother used to have a garden and she would make fried okra, fried squash, homemade chocolate pie, and fresh homemade biscuits. Yum!
