There isn't much around the house I can't do, and in my garage with the thousands of dollars of rarely used power tools you will find a hot glue gun and sewing kit for emergency repairs or to sew the latest Cub Scout patches on for my son. My wife stays home so she does most of the regular cooking, (same 20 menu items that all the kids eat with no fuss), but I cook also and usually make the good stuff that takes longer. Last night was beer battered coconut shrimp. At least once a week homemade chocolate chip pancakes. For Thanksgiving I made 3 dozen home-made rolls. I don't think it is ghey for a man to cook, sew, or any assortment of other things that have a desirable result and I let my kids help. I don't think doing those things are ghey, but if I started stacking sewing magazines in the bathroom, or started buying thousands of dollars of fancy cooking pans, that would be pretty ghey.

Does Cooking Make You Gay?

Easy-Bake Ovens are not traditionally marketed to boys. The commercials (see below) are festive and feminine, with girls grinning ear to ear as they bake mini pizzas and cupcakes with a high-powered light bulb. The colors on the box are pink, the spokesperson’s voice is female. A little boy watching a commercial for an Easy-Bake Oven should roll his eyes or make a fart noise with his mouth to assert his masculinity. Unless that little boy leans closer to the screen, scratches his head and wonders how he can tell his mother or father that he doesn’t want a bicycle for Hanukkah or a Light Bright. He wants an Easy-Bake Oven so he can learn to cook.
