[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a WASP thread. OMG. I weep for you all. Who raised you that this is an issue? How do you live in the real world? [/quote] There are many times I am grateful to my practical as hell immigrant parents who taught me ALL of the basic life skills related to both how to work and make a living and how to take care of myself, home, and family. I think that there were a couple of generations of women in the US that believed that not knowing certain traditionally female skills like cooking or basic sewing was a form of liberation from the patriarchy. When in fact it is just a willful limitation of your knowledge and skillset. ALL people need to know how to take care of themselves and family - this includes career skills AND basic home skills. No one talks proudly about not knowing how to change a tire, but I know several women who proudly don't cook. Good for you, I guess? Go order takeout.[/quote]
