You need a basic level of competence to be allowed in the kitchen. - That is where most domestic accidents happen.

Funny how kitchen stuff was thought to be women's work once.

Clarification: domestic kitchen stuff was thought to be women's work, professional kitchen stuff was thought to be men's work (and still is[1]).

That article doesn't seem to talk about safety at all.
I have read this several times over and have no idea how you could mean it which isn’t sexist af.

Edit: okay maybe I can imagine you’re saying that women have been competent in the kitchen and men [/other gender identifying people?] have demonstrated not being as competent. I’m really trying to stretch credulity to read this in good faith.

Women are widely known to be more attentive and dexterous in e.g. electronics assembly. Surely this translates to the domestic kitchen as well.

Sexist? Please, shove that word. This is simple facts about life.

> Sexist? Please, shove that word.

Respectfully, fuck no.
