[HockeyMom]

my daughter took both Home Ec and Shop (required) in HS. Her step stool turned out great, whereas her cookies could have been used as hockey pucks.

I grew up in the 50s/60s. You know, that time of Father Knows Best, Donna Reed, etc. My DAD did all the cooking. He LIKED to and was actually a better cook than my Mom (she had an outside job). He wasn't above mopping the floor either. And my Grandma, who was born in 1900, could take apart anything mechanical, fix it, and put it all back together again.

I guess what I am saying is that gender stereotypes are absurd and have nothing whatsoever to do with the "feminist culture" (Freepers) we live in today.
