baking and cooking and sewing and all those traditional feminine activities require just as much skill as masculine ones 🤷

I’m not a guy and I’d so much rather deal with the electrical/repair stuff since it’s what I’m good at :/ kind of on the other side of your situation, so I get how frustrating it is to be made to do shit based on your gender. thought my parents would know me better than that :/

Yet cooking and cleaning are a constant thing for life, hopefully the roof will be good for a long time after being finished.

They have to cook and clean every day. You only have to fix the roof once.
