See, I love things like that! When they first moved in together, my mother couldn't cook to save her life, so my dad did that. Granted, now she mostly cooks, but that's because his work is out-of-town so he's home later. It also reminds me that my great-grandad (on my dad's side) used to cook as well, and back then everyone thought it was so weird, but it means my grandfather and my dad grew up with those principles. And which is also why, technically, we shouldn't take their jokes seriously, but considering that it's 80% of the male population who actually think that a women's place is in the kitchen, well, it just reinforces that. So I'm with you: better an overreaction than no reaction at all, to something that has to change.
I've been searching fruitlessly for Spooks S3 downloads/online vids, but I found a few for S6 (I think). Will I be completely lost if I start from there? And when does Ros get in?
You really, really have to watch Buffy: it's almost entirely female-dominated, and all of the females are ones with the biggest power. The only two male-figures who are fixed throughout the entire show are 'normal' people, which is such a nice and refreshing change!
