5 Meals Every Woman Should Know How to Cook.
I wish I was kidding. At first, I tried to rationalize it - maybe these were foods that had a lot of heart-healthy aspects, or foods that could ward off breast cancer and the like? But no. The very beginning of the article reads, "The right recipe can make or break an important event. Our experts dish up advice for preparing food that will WOW at critical moments."
If that's not bad enough, the article is peppered with statements like, "He'll be in hog heaven," - on a meal it disgustingly states you can cook "before round two" on the morning after - and on a meal you can make for meeting his parents, "If you prepare a dinner that's too fancy, they might wonder if you think you're too good for them. But if it's too down home, they may think you're not good enough for him!"
They even included a meal you can make for a heartbroken friend, just to prove that they "get" women and their chocolate cravings.
Maybe I'm just being sensitive about this, but it definitely rubbed me the wrong way. It was far too general for the typical stereotypes of women hostesses and "for the morning after" and other nonsense. No thanks.
