Here is what I mean by that. Since the beginning of time women have dominated cooking, baking and otherwise culinary stuff. For some reason, now that there is such a thing as ‘top chef’ we have men dominating TV, recipe books and otherwise commercial undertakings. Who invited men into the kitchen and who left them in charge? It’s ridiculous that they get so close to dominating this field, particularly when it comes to commercial presentation (read money and dollars). Why do women go for this stuff? I think part of the reason why Paula Deen was vilified is because she dares to dominate in a field where we should ALWAYS be dominating. Like Martha Stewart, Paula Deen dared to be good and make a dollar off of it. So when the “powers that be” found a vulnerability they persecuted Paula Deen. Ack do I sound like a paranoid theorist?
Here is the other insult: “Adam’s Style Sheet” in Oprah’s magazine. Oh my gosh, really? There isn’t a beautiful, stylish, intelligent woman to tell us how to dress? I am personally offended by this guy claiming to understand what is hot and what is not. I have never, ever dressed for a man, I have always dressed for women and any self-respecting woman would tell you that. Even if that were not the case, I don’t like a man being an expert about feminine style, it just doesn’t sit right with me. I think women are far more wise about style and fashion, especially for women.
Women need to listen to themselves. We don’t need men to dominate cooking and to tell us what to wear. We are the best at both.
