Reply To: Asking to taste the girl's cooking before agreeing to a shidduch

technical- even if you’re right that it is not a wife’s duty to cook/do domestic stuff, it is still common enough (especially among frum people) for a wife to do these things, that she should be assumed to. Acc. to bureau of labor stats I found online, on an average day, 40% of men do food prep or cleanup, while 70% of women do. Even among goyim, it is just more likely probabilistically that women will do the cooking. So why not expect that a frum girl know how to cook? Of course the guy can and should help her with chores, but the stats seem to suggest that despite feminism, women still do the cooking, so it’s a reasonable expectation. And Joseph might tell you that this is the way it’s supposed to be, although I’ll let him speak to that.
