Depends on the context for it, i would say absolutely yes.

Unless it involves an outdoor grill or being paid money to do the job professionally. Then, it very much IS considered a man’s job.

Haven’t been able to drink the shot yet, but drank the chaser.
I’ll admit, I’m feeling very tingly…
Edit: Okay, drank the shot. It’s good. However…
Is there any more of that chaser? You mind if I just hold the bottle?

I’ve always found interesting the relationship of roles that are typically done by women vs those same roles but being done “professionally” by men. Cooking being a prime example. When the inverse is true you get even more ridiculousness, such as women serving in combat roles or wanting to be a firefighter.

Hugin was chosen, among all the boys of the village, to compete in the Races. He had grown up, the child of a simple, lovely baker, and his wife, the wolf-hunter. Hugin wore his hair in simple golden waves and had the longest legs anyone had ever seen, coated in fine, silky down. When the yearly selection began, other boys watched Hugin.
This reads like some of the Icelandic biskupasǫgur or Bishop’s Sagas. The physical beauty of men isn’t a big feature of any other sagas I’ve read, though.

If you follow the chain of the conversation: “being paid money to do the job professionally. Then, it very much IS considered a man’s job.”
I’m saying when this goes the other way you get issues in the sense of prejudice and the like. Not sure if i was explaining my thoughts correctly or if i’m still not doing so.

What @anon67050589 was imparting here was that once it’s either grilling or a career, it’s traditionally considered men’s work, but when it’s free labor, it’s women’s work. She’s pointing out the gender disparity, not arguing that certain people shouldn’t do something.
Of course, historically being a soldier or firefighter is considered men’s work (although there are plenty examples of women in combat through out history.
I don’t think the OP was clear, but this is clearer… sort of? I guess I’m still not sure how the other 2 roles being opened to women now fits in with this line of thinking?

WTFF? As I have told many guys younger than me over the years… wanna woo women then learn how to cook properly. You do not have to be great chef but being able to prepare a good meal with confidence is one of the best ways to make a good impression on your girl/boy/whatever friend.

It isn’t a matter of cooperation. You speak as if it’s purely a matter of choice. It isn’t. It’s a matter of survival. I mean, yes, I suppose I could go completely off-grid and refuse to interact with society AT ALL, but the gender roles assigned to me affect my life every, single day in a myriad of ways seen and unseen, even by me.

But… clearly the point of this article is to illustrate gendered normative social pressures?
You may have moved beyond gender categorisation and I am sure many here at BB strive to, but for the vast majority of people gender categorisation is so pervasive it is considered the ‘natural’ order.
These articles hold a mirror to that normative pressure. Pointing out that the categories are arbitrary doesn’t diminish their power in any way.
