I love cooking and baking. Whenever there's a family get together I try to make something whether it's a full dish or some sweet bread for desert.

None of the other guys have ever complimented me on any if it, they all compliment my wife on 'her' delicious food. She corrects them and they say nothing, it turns into a weird situation for some reason and it seems like they're embarrassed to admit they like something made by a man? It's weird

The toxic masculinity on my wife's side is absolutely crazy and really sad.

That sucks. Hard to be yourself around people when navigating their fragile beliefs is like playing epistemological fiddlesticks. Weird when most executive chefs are male.

I donno the answer. Make 'em some pink sparkle shortbread infused with whiskey and bacon and watch their minds implode.

That's not a bad idea. I'll tell them I cooked it on the grill while smoking a cigar so no ones feelings get hurt.
