A social media user has stirred a heated debate on X (Twitter) after sharing what many have described as a controversial take on gender roles in relationships.
In a viral post, the user advised men to refrain from cooking or ordering food when their girlfriends come to visit, insisting that the woman should take full responsibility for preparing meals.
According to him, except that the lady is sick, everything that concerns cooking and cleaning should be left for her to handle alone.
“Let me repeat. If your girlfriend comes to visit you and spends days. Please, leave everything that involves cooking and cleaning after her. Even if you’re a fantastic chef. Except she’s sick. Do not cook anything, & do not order any meals from outside. And do not ask her to cook anything, either. She should know what to do. If she can’t cook, both of you should stay hungry. End.“ He wrote
The post has gained traction, with many users criticizing the statement as misogynistic and outdated, arguing that domestic responsibilities should be shared equally in relationships.
However, some users defended the poster, claiming he was merely emphasizing traditional values and expectations in modern relationships.
Below are some of the comments;
“And then there is me, who finds it difficult to ask a girl for anything or to do anything. I just like the idea of being independent of any woman, even when girls visit me, they only get up from bed when they want to brush, eat, or use the nothing, I do all the cooking. I should…”
“This is why I like Christian relationships where we’re not permitted to visit each other and do sleepovers. Let’s kukuma know what we’re doing. Marriage has a bigger purpose than cooking and clean. We can always outsource that dear.”
“Many men are guilty of this. Proving your chef skills and dexterity to your “beautiful princess” is what comes to mind first. Those who know how to cook will always love to impress their “new beautiful princess”.”
