Yes BBQ is supposed to be a male thing. How often do you see portrayals of women working the grill in the media? Not very often. It is kind of strange when you think about it logically though. Isn't cooking considered to be a woman's job? In an anthropology class I took they mentioned it when they were covering gender roles.
This is how it went:
- Women stay in the house and work. Men work outside the home.
- Cooking is normally a woman's job. But not outside of the home, god forbid she actually leave the house!
So cooking that takes place outside the home are for men: Guys work the grill, and guys work as chefs.
Does this make sense? In a weird twisted way, yeah it does. Can it be justified by common sense? Umm... No it can't. Does any of this matter? No, because people don't think about why we do things like that. They just do them the way they learned, like robots.
ANYWAYS... Three typically male traits you will never give up?
1. Lots of video games! Violent ones too!
2. My snooty intellectualism!
3. Umm... I guess if I had to pick a third it would be my practice of wearing the same shirt\pair of pants until they actually start to pick up an odor or possibly just feel icky.
