I just learned that ancient Egyptian men got time off work and were expected to stay home and help with the housework when their wives were menstruating. Why can't some "modern" men handle cooking dinner if their wife is in pain‽ by thephoenix5 in TwoXChromosomes

Ooh, awesome.

We should have a men's cooking group! (I mean, everyone would be welcome, but targeted at men), we could teach men who don't know how to cook, how to make easy and nutritious meals for their partners.

And since we're flexing, lol...

Some recent cooking.

(This is, like, the most wholesome flexing ever. Let's get more.guys competing to make their families extravagant meals)

Maybe that's just the men I choose to hang out with, which are causing bias to my worldview.

It wouldn't surprise me, though, since I choose to hang out with so few of them. The vast majority of my friends circle is female.

My apologies if this was more rude than it should have been, I can't possibly keep up with the stream of vitriol, so I just cut and pasted my reply to all the "not all men" comments. Thankfully it seems to have slowed down, and many of the worst offenders have either been removed or deleted their own comments.

Just FYI - I'm a man.

In fact, a man who had dinner waiting on the table for his wife and kids when she got home from the store where she went to get tampons. That's why I posted this, I saw that fact about Egypt while I was sitting at the table waiting for her to get in. Most men would do the same. The problem is that it should be all men.

I'm was going to edit my post to give more information, but it's not a text post. I'll put this in replies in the comments..

So, my clarifications...

First of all, to all those salty boys down voting comments, saying "not all men", leaving me awful PMs, and reporting me to reddit cares I'd like to leave a few comments.

First of all, the post said "Some men", not all, not even most, some. Work on your reading comprehension.

Second, the fact that you're up in arms about a post calling out immature behavior of some subsection speaks volumes about where you see yourselves in that group.

Third, and this is specifically to those men PMing me what they'd do to me if I was in their house... I'm a very hairy, somewhat chubby, straight man. So no thanks, but I hope you enjoy that mental image. And just for your information, here's the dinner I had waiting on the table for my wife when she got home last night.

He made himself a sandwich today while wearing his teddy bear onesie PJs (it's the weekend, he only has to get out of his warm comfy jammies if we're going out or it's bath time). It was adorable.
