Cooking is For Girls

While falling asleep one night I had the television on MTV where a show I watch often was on, Run's House. At the beginning of this episode, they showed youngest brothers, Russy and Diggy in one of their bedrooms. Diggy was laying on the bed while Russy was standing up playing a Wii cooking game. Diggy asked Russy why he was playing this game and Russy simply replied, "...because it's fun. I like cooking." Diggy's response to this was, "Cooking is for girls." The fact that these are kids who not even teenagers yet and are saying something like this amazed me. This shows that our society has continued to gives generations the message that the woman is the one who should be stuck in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. This needs to be changed so this message doesn't continue to go through the generations. To this day there are nearly just as many men in the kitchen cooking as there are women.
