Dave Berry presents a kitchen tale from his own experience on one occasion--Thanksgiving. As Dave opens, it is easy to relate, remember my own experiences during this holiday, and sense the tension in the air, palpable and even uncomfortable. As the drama unfolds, although, there is this single event that Dave tries to paint men and women into stereotypes. On the surface, this might be somewhat true regarding a portion of the population, men and women alike. To answer the question stated above, I would be inclined to say, 'yes and no'. No, simply because their are many reverse roles in society, that Dave either neglected to mention, or has not experienced firsthand. I would even go so far and point out that while many women are working, more of them are stay-home wives, and mothers, with traditional working husbands. Further, it would be remiss of me not to mention that insofar as men are concerned, they do enjoy cooking and helping around the kitchen. Conversely, the same can be said about some women. I would say that Dave Berry can suggest a mindset, such as this piece, and that would not be an accurate catchall within the scope of human sexuality.

Based on "Lost in the kitchen," is Dave Barry correct in his assessment of men and women?
