It’s a man’s job to be handed everything he needs already prepared so he can burn it to within an inch of charcoal and proclaim that he has cooked dinner for the family.

Why don’t more women use a BBQ to cook.? Or is it just that way in my small sphere of life experiences ?

My mum barbeques more than my dad does, because she cooks more. My dad will only bbq to help out in bbqs, but my mum uses it more generally.

Men like to think that it’s some sort of special craft while women silently think “I can do that on my stove” but are happy to let someone else stand there to cook. Anyone.

Men like things that they think are estoteric.\ Same reason why:
- housework is “woman work” but doing outside work is “man work"
- women are “good at admin” but the c-suite is male dominated
- "cooking in a kitchen” is a “woman’s job”, but “being a cook/chef in a restaurant” is a “man’s job”.
As soon as one can excel in a certain area or skill, and make money from it, it becomes male dominated.
See: sexism.
Also, regarding BBQs, women do most of the prep and make salads and stuff, and the man sits outside with his beer and mates and “cooks” the woman-prepped meat/skewers on the bbq, occasionally turning it.
Note: necessary “not all men” so I don’t get piled on lol

Women do use bbqs, they just manage it without an audience. And without expecting gushing praise for cooking a simple meal.

because I use the grill indoors

Honestly indoors makes the whole thing easier lol. Not a M/F thing it’s just quicker and more controlled.

I’m not sure but I ain’t letting my ol’ boy near the bbq carbon isn’t nutritious.
