Most believe that If being a women, I am not good at cooking then I am a lesser women as in Asia it is taken as a Women's responsibility to cook.

Although it doesn't make you a lesser woman if  you don't know how to cook, but this will be solely dependent on who you are married to. And don't forget in a hurry that most cultures see the females folks not only getting married to the males but to the whole family members as whole. And if it turns out that you don't know how to cook and the family members have such great expectation of you as a woman, they could resent your inability to fix them a delicious meal any time they visit.

I know this, thanks for answering. This thing is affecting me and it must be affecting many others who are not good at cooking.

Personally, I must applaud you for raising this kind of sensitive issue that is being overlooked but yet affecting many homes. Honestly, I know many marriages that are torn apart by this type of issue. I will kindly advise every woman out there to make conscious effort in knowing how to cook to some certain degree. As it usually said in Africa culture that the way to a man's heart is through food.

Wow cooking plays a big role in a womans life. There are men who will have that notion or mentality that if a woman does not know how to cook then she is as good as not being referred to a woman. The one thing i know is that a woman who does not know how to cook is really a big disappointment and a disgrace to the family. It really makes no sense to have a woman inside the house and she cannot prepare a decent meal for the family, why is she even there if she cannot perform those kinds of duties? There is also a saying that goes " The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" in other words men appreciate good food which is prepared by a good cook, and if you cannot do that then how do you win a man's heart? Anyway i don't think it makes you less of a woman if you do not know how to cook, it just makes you look bad in the midst of other women, which will make you uncomfortable. The positive side of it is that the criticisms will make you do something about it like probably joining a cooking class.

Some people just don't understand cooking at all. I tried to teach my daughter how to cook and she just didn't want to learn. She told me she would marry a man who loved cooking and this is what she did. However, over the years she has been forced to start cooking and now has gotten rather good at the few things she enjoys making. Cooking is an art and you either like it or not. It doesn't make you less of a woman if you can't cook.

You can be good in something else. If you are not a good cook or not cooking at all, you will look bad if you haven't tried to know how to cook. You should start learning now.

There are just some people who try to cook and take classes to learn to cook. Take for an example, my mom. She is the worst cook in the world and no matter how hard she tries she just can't cook. There are some people like this and they just can't get the hang of it at all.

I know many women that are not good at cooking and I don't think they are lesser women or should be considered like that. But I can imagine this feeling and some may feel depressed about it but we shouldn't think much about it and If we feel that we should learn about cooking then we should learn cooking and try to get better at it. We should have a clear state of mind and In case we don't wanna learn cooking then we shouldn't think much about it as these days both Male and female share responsibilities of cooking and it's not a women thing by any means and most people from India or I should say Asia think like that.

Cooking responsibility should be for both males and females. Even as a man I can cook almost all meals and seriously, knowing how to cook is for an individual's good .

Well,in our society it is believed the females are like the mother's of the home and as such should resume the motherly role of cooking and should know how to cook to feed the family.

In as much as it wouldn't make you a lesser woman but you should know how to Cook, the onus is more on you as a woman than on a male.As a woman in a home it is naturally expected that you should be able to Cook to feed the family and it wouldbt be funny if you are at home but there isn't food in the home because you can't cook.

Cooking can be learned at any time and the time might just be now.

Being able to cook does not make you a better or more of a woman than the other woman. Cooking is a skill that anyone can acquire regardless of gender. It is very unfortunate that some cultures think otherwise. They try to enforce cooking and domestic activities on females in a bid to make it part of them even when their interest lies somewhere else.

This is not to say that a girl should not help around but she must not be shamed If it isn't one of her strong points. She must not be made to feel like it is her duty and no one else's. It doesn't make you less of a woman than it does a man. There's many more to you that you can offer.

In my culture. It is believed that cooking good food is one of the qualities that keeps a man and a home and it is a woman's duty only. This is still a problem and it's only now that women are starting to speak up. They fail to understand that their actions are the birth place of gender inequality in our society.

Being bad in cooking cannot make you a lesser women. The cooking is considered to be the responsibility of women in many asian countries. But there's no such artificial rule which exists in the world. You can find the fact that most of the successful cooks in the world are men. It's just not fair if we divide and assign the work on the basis of the gender. The work should be equal responsibility of the human beings without any gender biasing. Chose a life partner who's not like the others. I am sure you will feel the way I am telling you the things. At the end we need to understand that men and women have equal rights.

A woman is just a woman by birth. I do not believe in females who try to make themselves males. So if you are born a woman then it matters not what you do. Similarly, a man is just a man whether he cooks or not.

It'll only make you dependent on other people. Which is not only bad but in survival times say like corona, you'd struggle. Women or not, cooking is a skill one should have and that is the way we can build our life ahead. It has nothing to do with being a woman or man.

I don't think so. It happens that you do not have the interest and passion of doing it. There are so many factors that can make us feel one but not this. It is misnomer to think this way. If an Asian woman's biological parents are traditional, then we cannot change their minds, especially if they are not open to modernization.

It's good to be able to cook but in my country where the woman often goes out to work it isn't such a big deal. I grew up in the 1950s where it was common for the man to work and the woman to look after the children so it was important that a woman could cook. Now the man will often take over and do the cooking.

I don't think it makes you a lesser woman because I'm sure you are good at plenty of other things but it might be an idea to get hold of some simple recipes. You can throw together some nutritious meals  very easily and quickly with pasta or rice. Just follow the recipe step by step and see what you can cook up. I'm sure you are probably better than you think.

We are in a modern world where cooking can be done by either genders. However cooking is essential even if you live alone you cannot buy ready to eat food everyday. So I would encourage anyone who doesn't know how to cook to try and learn how to do it. Start with simple meals such as boiling rice, stir frying vegetables and making soups.

It is more on you as a woman than on a guy to know how to cook, even if it does not make you a worse woman. It would not be hilarious if you were at home but there was no food in the house because you couldn't cook.

Cooking may be learned at any moment, and right now is the perfect time.

It will put you below gals that can cook, in the minds of most marriage-seeking men. Irregardless of what feminazis want desperately to believe, no guy wants to work all day at the job, then come home, do the cooking, housecleaning, etc.

Unless you are rich enough to eat at restaurants everyday, or plan to parasitize the parents indefinitely, just how do you expect to get a good meal if you can't be bothered to fix it? Meals don't prepare themselves kiddo!

I don't think if you are not good at cooking it will make you a lesser woman. Cooking is only one of the famous skills or talents that a woman has. You can also excel in order fields aside from cooking like doing house chores, cleaning, laundry, gardening, and even some electrical or carpentry skills that others cannot do. Anyway, they say we cannot stop learning as we grow and maybe there will be a possibility in the future to learn cooking. Once you found your true love you can move mountains because you will do everything for the person you love. So, no one is stopping you to learn cooking in the future who knows?

No it won't as a matter a fact it all depends on your partner because being a woman doesn't mean you should be cooking.So no ,you not being able to cook doesn't make you any less of a woman.

No you are still the same person and you have other things that you are good at. The problem is that women in the society are taken as house jeepers or something but nowadays things are changing. We have women who are leaders or who work and earn their own living. It doesn't make you any less of a person if you don't know how to cook. You can always teach yourself  how to do it but also men should also know that they can also help in house chores.

I personally applaud you for bringing up this topic of discussion. The answer is no it doesn't. In today's world and society women are no longer seen as just the caretakers and house keepers, no they are seen as independent, strong forces and pillars.  

Now you not being able to cook doesn't make you less  of a woman  because even today in some marriages the men are the chefs and cooks in the house and depending on your partner they can even teach you themselves how to cook and in my opinion that spices up the relationship. 

Gone are the days when women were supposed to know how to do everything just to keep their marriage intact. If you do know how to cook though good for you but that is just my take on the matter.
