Lexi, there are a number of things, firstly men generally know how to relate and deal with other men, introduce a woman and the dynamics get changed.

So have you done any research into 'men wanting women to be in the kitchen'? or is just your assumption?

JamesH.,

Not all men (or women) know how to relate to each other, let alone have the necessary "people" skills required for a top job. However, I do see that in an atmosphere of often earthy male camaraderie, the combination of female competence (and sexual attractiveness) can be unsettling and even threatening for some men. As for my statement that
"There are still many men who feel a woman should be at home ... rather than hiring, firing, and ordering men around." This was taken from my own experience as well as from research. "The Changing Definition of Masculinity," by Clyde W. Franklin is just one book that
examines how concepts of masculinity have developed in response to changing social conditions, particularly the new roles of women.

I agree entirely with this whole article

Look at the evil in this guy's eyes. It's an incredible photo. Is that the father who made him in the background? A picture that tells a million words.

I have James, for years I looked for men who would admit to wanting a woman to be in the kitchen. I found a few and married my favourite one.

It took years because it wasn’t PC for half the men to be honest when first asked and the rest wanted women who would contribute to the household income while dumping any children that might be hanging around to be raised by daycare workers.

Wow Houell, that was an extreme case of someone spazzing out. You’re right though in that photo he and the dude behind him look all bad and wrong. I was left wondering who the happy chick next to him was.
