I find the whole kitchen = sexist thing kind of weird -- at least passe. When my daughter was about 3, we visited a bunch of family. I cook. My brother cooks. My eldest sister's husband cooks. We finally went to my folks' house, and I remember my wife saying she was glad that our daughter was finding out that girls can cook.

The woman behind me in the grocery store this evening had ten boxes of hamburger helper or something. She also had juice boxes and stuff, so she wasn't just cooking for herself.

My wife was part of a mom's club, and 10-15 years ago they had a poll of their members about the division of labor. Cooking was divided about 50-50.

As I said, I really don't get the kitchen as a metaphor for gender roles or sexism.

Younger people are definitely not like that anymore. She's young, and sees the sexism. Any ESPN post about women are swamped with "kitchen" comments. The comments are degrading.

I like Mabrey's actions. She is standing up to sexist people with her platform. Kitchen comments are so overdone, but unfortunately so many people still find them amusing.

Since it's about a Mabrey my first thought involved forearms and throats. That and I can't seem to find my damn readers.

My daughter asked for one so she got it.

Am just glad that MM is not in Cam's literal kitchen.

That's probably a good thing ...
