I agree! It is a shame that people have lost their sense of humor and instead either get easily offended or put labels on everything...hasn't anyone learned yet....remember back in the day when everyone started filing lawsuits over the simplest of things....after effect... increased insurance rates and medical costs....can't wait for the after effect of all this political correctiveness….lets see what could be effected....songs, fairy tales, movies, childrens' toys and games, art (in all forms...including photography) oh what the heck...why not just take our bill of rights and tear it up already and we can all walk around and sound like computerized recordings saying only what is absolutely necessary to obtain necessities...Here it is I'm offended by all this political correctiveness! So everyone please stop it! And on that note....Merry Christmas Everyone! And I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy New Year filled with lots of humor!
PS: To anyone offended by the above....don't reply because you will offend me!

The title of "Doctor" is attributable to any person who has satisfactorily completed the course of study to receive, and has received, a Ph.D. Medical physicians originally were titled, Mister.

There was a time when a young lady looking forward to matrimony would seek to display her culinary abilities to her hopeful husband to be. Does this practice still not occur? And what's so sexist about it?
I’m a heteronormative male. I like to cook. My wife works. I’m semi-retired. She hates cooking. Nothing weird about that... and there’s nothing wrong with a lass or a guy displaying her or his culinary abilities when courting.
Why do skills have to have gender?
Watched Graham Kerr on TV when I was a teen. Taught me that it's OK for a man to know his way around the kitchen. Also wasn't afraid to laugh at himself. My mom viewed the kitchen as her sanctuary away from the TV (and the kids).

And he says he's not sexist! I believe he's actually afraid of women. You do realize that just about every restaurant kitchen is run and staffed by mostly males. I guess since all these males work in kitchens, there's something wrong with them. More fodder for your juvenile sense of humor.
Being respectful towards other human beings doesn't mean one is being politically correct, it just means they are being normal. Harboring a deep seeded hatred toward an entire gender, is not normal, it's pathetic.

I learned to cook when I was growing up by watching my grandmother and mother and even my great grandmother. It helps when you are home alone and are hungry. Later I was an army cook for about 10 years for my National Guard unit. When our 7 children were small I always cooked breakfast while my wife got them ready to go to school. I enjoy cooking over an open fire. Some years ago when my wife was in the hospital a couple of relief society sisters came over on Sunday following church to check on us and see if they could arrange for food to be brought in. I had just taken a spiral cut ham out of the oven and was preparing to glaze it. I brought them into the kitchen and they stood there with their mouths hanging open. They didn't know that a man could cook. Being able to cook is a good survival technique. Most of the great chefs are men. A smart man will learn to cook and care for himself. I am proud of the fact that I can cook.
I find these jokes funny because they are. I do not take offense, I do not shame people who tell these jokes, and I find men who tell me what I ought to be offended by offensive.
*A man driving a car hits a woman. Whose fault is it? The man's. Why was he driving in the kitchen?
*As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman." She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?" A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this!".
*Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
*How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
Absurdity has always been the foundation of a good joke.

I kind of like my typo. Actually it was dumb luck there aren't worse ones. I can think so much faster than I type I have been known to reverse a word or even a short sentence. And worse from a spelling point is that I can type faster with my right hand than my left so it is easy to get letters out of order in a owrd.
When I was teaching and doing lesson plans I would proof read and edit before reproducing papers for my classes. I gave extra credit for finding my typos so I could correct the master copies. It got to be a game with the students so I had to leave at least one on every paper for them to find. They especially liked the ones that were real words, just not the right word.

Just like me, I think fast and type with one finger of each hand.
That was funny, even if not intended, because it kept the first and last
letters which is important for a fast reader to miss it.
I liked your way of teaching the youngsters to pay attention to what they are
reading. Congratulations.

It is the same in my house. I am totally retired and spend my time hunting and fishing with some photography thrown in. I am also a good cook. My wife still works so when I am home, in Southern CA, I take care of the cooking and house chores. It helps her out and I am contributing to our general household.

I always wondered about things like "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" (or whatever).
Who is going to tell a Real Man that he can't eat or do something he wants to?
Real Men do whatever needs to be done.
There are only two things Real Men don't do: (1) bear children; (2) nurse children.
And Real Men admit to what they can't do.
