Is kitchen the woman’s domain? Is society to blame? Men and women have been forced into standardized roles based on their sex. As a society we have perceived masculine roles to be paired with dominance, aggression, and fear; while feminine roles are associated with passion, nurturing and caring. The placement of these categories start with us at birth, repetition of these created socialized gender roles over time leads men and women into a false sense that they are acting naturally, rather than following a socially constructed role. Society teaches us that gender roles are based on natural differences between the sexes, but on the stereotypes based on the patterns of men and women. \u00a0A pattern that cookbooks have helped enforced: the Virginia Housewife (1800s), The Sour Cream Queen(1950s), The Hostess cookbook (2000s). Each one of these books not only use their title, but the wording and some times the visual images are geared towards women. \u00a0I want to use cookbooks and their content to further enforce the idea of “socially” acceptable gender normative ideas.<\/p>\n
