Women are sharing the stupid things men do in the kitchen and some men are getting very upset about it

It began when someone on Twitter shared this story of a dinner date gone wrong when she asked a man to halve a cauliflower and, well, here’s what happened next, according to @cottoncandaddy on Twitter.

And her tale prompted lots of women to get in touch with similar stories of stupid things men can’t do. Or very probably that should be things stupid men can’t do.

Same situation but with a block of cheese, after I gave him a knife. Needless to say, we are no longer dating.

A gentleman caller once asked me for “raw toast” for breakfast, and when I stared at him and said “do you mean bread??” He stormed out.

I once asked my bf to open a jar of spaghetti sauce and when I turned around he was pouring it into the boiling pasta water

I asked my ex to wash potatoes and when I turned around he was scrubbing them with detergent and the dish sponge.

I dated a guy in college who was absolutely unable to figure out the mystery of box mix cake. He also made a sandwich at my place once that was pizza between 4 slices of toast. I think my soul actually fell out of my body I was so confused

Friend bought 5 lbs of pork sausage. Used half in a sauce for pasta. Told husband to take the leftovers to work for lunch. He took the other half of raw sausage. And ate it all. And didn’t notice until she called and asked why he didn’t take his lunch (the pasta)

I dated a guy who made dinner, with a recipe, and it would have been good, except where it says to add salt, it didn’t say how much, so he added a quarter cup.

My friend’s husband called her complaining about the bad lettuce she had bought. It was purple cauliflower. Friends, this man is an ER doctor.

Had a(n adult man) friend call to ask me how to make tea, and then he followed up with *three* subsequent texts, just to be sure. Not sure how they stay alive, tbh.

One day I was sitting on my couch and heard a slapping sound. I turn around and my friend is slapping the chicken. I ask what he is doing and he said the recipe said to pat the chicken dry. I told him that he’s supposed to use a towel. He went and got a bath towel.

I once said to my ex ‘I need your man hands’, when he asked what for I said to mash the potatoes. He stuck his bare hands in the hot mashed potatoes. Kinda my fault, but still. 🤷🏽‍♀️🖐🏾

This exchange:

“Why doesn’t she just use flour?”
“She cant eat wheat.”
“Why doesn’t she just use flour?”
“She cant eat wheat.”
“Why doesn’t she just use flour?”
“SHE CAN’T EAT WHEAT.”
“Is…flour made from wheat??”

I really want to know if he thought it was made of flowers.

But some men took great offence to the whole thing.

People like this guy.

And others appeared to suggest that knives were for losers.

Just in case anyone – well, any men really – were in any doubt how it should be done …

To conclude, this.

If getting laughed at for not knowing how to cut a cauliflower in half is the root cause of male emotional problems, then masculinity is even more fragile than we thought. Take a cooking class. Go to therapy.
