IMO (and humble one at that), both girls AND boys should be taught the basics of cooking, sewing (yes, even the boys), and housecare, not to mention how to draw up a realistic budget and stick to it. All our schools are remiss in emphasizing these skills, which are necessary at some point or other. A boy should know how to sew a button on his shirt and how to put a chicken in the oven. His wife will not always be available to do so for him, if he is married, and his mom may not be, either, if he is not.
Just as girls are now expected to be the breadwinners in so many cases, so too should the boys be expected to pick up some of the household slack for their wives. I’m jus’ sayin’…
