Lisabee received an Amazon ad in her inbox for “Father’s Day Kitchen Gifts” that, at first glance, appeared to challenge the stereotype that men don’t cook.\u00a0 Upon opening it, however, it turns out that it masculinizes cooking activities.\u00a0 It’s a nice example of the trend of de-feminizing items in order to make them safe for dudes who generally have to stay far away from the stigma of femininity.\u00a0 What do we have?<\/p>\n

Stuff for meat.<\/p>\n
