A man cooking meals and a woman using tools

There is a certain sort of a man in
the world, a man who can be a good cook. If he marries a woman, who is a good
cook too, there will be no harmony in their family. The man will always
interfere in the kitchen. The woman will shout and drive him away. It is
generally assumed that cooking is the housewife's job. Take for example, different
advertisements. You can see a certain picture: a hungry man is sitting and
looking expectantly at table, meanwhile his wife is bustling to and from the
stove. Then she gives her husband a dish which ensures his adoration for ever.

Does
he want to cook after this? Many people will reply: "He even
shouldn't".

The
idea that a woman should always cook is completely wrong. A man should be able
to cook too, at least when his wife is out or seriously ill. So if a man can't
cook, he should ask his wife to teach him.

And
what about a woman who can't use tools? Sometimes her disability to handle a
screwdriver can cause the same problems as a man's being unable to boil an egg.

The
woman living in a manless household is often in panic when a fuse burns out, a
door handle comes off, a tap leaks, and a wash basin refuses to empty freely.
She has to call in an electrician, who sends in a bill, which exceeds his real
deeds.

Actually
at such a time a woman may realize that a short course of training in the use
of tools would have saved her time, her money and her temper.
