Why chefs male? Login/Join

The France vs England thread brought an old question to mind.

I am told that in 'most' households the better cook is female.

So, how's come most famous chefs are male?

It's a profession, not a household duty....




There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others.

My guess: chefs don't just cook, the run the kitchen. Kinda like the CEO of the kitchen.

Males may just have advantages in the management area.

That is essentially the answer I have most often seen in the past.

In the "olden days" most professions were male dominated. Think about tailors at one time they were all men, women sewed at home but weren't considered good enough to be professionals.

I can tell you that most gals that make it in the cooking industry are pretty "hard" to begin with. I haven't seen many guys in tears in the kitchen but have seen a lot of gals who were. It's a tough job physically and not one for the weaker sex.

Something else I notice is that a woman's pride in going over and above and really doing a hell of a good job on an item dies down fast. Soon they are just going through the motions to get the job done rather than finding a sense of pride in it.

That ought to ruffle a few feathers!

Methinks there are not enough forum members of the fair sex to bring many feathers to bear.
