  My personal observation: Pathetically true.
  Just look at all the male-dominated TV cook master.
  From the Naked Chef to Wong Can Cook.
  
  Women these days....tsk tsk tsk..

  'Women can't cook' claims Ramsay
  
  Gordon Ramsay said more men were learning kitchen skills
  Women "can't cook to save their lives", celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has said.
  The controversial chef said more men are learning what to do in the kitchen, while women are more likely to be able to mix a cocktail than cook.
  
  "When they eat, they cheat - it is ready meals and pre-prepared meals all the way," he said in the Radio Times.
  
  Ramsay, 38, who has an award-winning female chef at one of his restaurants, is known for his fiery temper as much for his culinary skills.
  
  "I've been visiting ladies' houses up and down the country with our film crew and you would be amazed how little cooking the girls are doing," the chef said ahead of the launch of his latest television show.
  
  "Seriously, there are huge numbers of young women out there who know how to mix cocktails but can't cook to save their lives, whereas men are finding their way into the kitchen in ever growing numbers.
  
  It's not necessarily a bad thing - so long as someone is cooking, does it really matter who it is?

  Chef
  
  "Trust me, I am only telling you what I have discovered."
  
  Angela Hartnett, head chef at the Ramsay's The Connaught in Mayfair and a Michelin-starred chef, defended his comments.
  
  She said they were based on a survey for a TV programme which claimed 75% of women asked admitted they could not cook.
  
  "So, he hasn't made these comments up willy-nilly," she told BBC Breakfast.
  
  She said men were becoming more interested in cooking, with her master classes split 50-50.
  
  "A lot of husbands come and say they do all the cooking because their wives can't cook.
  
  "It's not necessarily a bad thing - so long as someone is cooking, does it really matter who it is?"
  
  She acknowledged that the ready availability of pre-prepared meals made it easy for people never to have to learn to cook.

  well, that's interesting: The law book has precedence over the cook book.
  Now, I am curious how female lawmakers well-fed were when they were schooling and doing the paper chase ?
  
  Women...TODAY'S women to be precised, has lost much of the feminine charm and mastery of the home and kitchen skills that only yesteryear generation can enjoy.
  
  Just look around u from university to workplace, a pack of Maggie is the best sumptuous meal that they can wip up.
  
  I am NOT AT ALL impressed with women in high cooperate positions or HER WORLD only mindset. That is NOT at all a complete nor a natural woman.
  
  THAT is recreation of MAN in an altered gender to satisify the unnatural belief that all-sex-are-equal social engineering under the consumeristic atmosphere of political correctness.
  
  With all her education, exposure, opportunities and yes, WOMEN'S CHARTER, are they really any "happier" than their mums and grandma ?
  
  When I meant Happier, I am referring to happier as a WOMAN. Can any ladies share on this ?
  
  Why I asked is because I notice in today's cross-gender, role sharing and conflicting ideas, many are quite lost.
  
  I fear not of MAN himselve lossing out as they do hv other choices (Vietnamese wife, etc etc), but of children of today's and future gen when they only have opportunity to called someone MUM before 9 am and after 7 pm several times a week for much of their childhood.
  
  Now, that is painful, coz there is no CHILDREN's CHARTER.
