Should boys learn to cook?

Last time i went back to Kuching for celebrating Chinese New Year, and guess what they all asked me?

"Are you going out to eat everyday or you cook yourself?"

"erm........going out to eat."

"Harh? you yourself dunno how to cook meh?"

"Urm.. I know how to cook maggie mee. Trust me it is nice. >.<"

So should i ask, should boys learn to cook? It is universally acknowledged that every nation nay, every individual must be self sufficient and that amounts to saying self supporting. In Japan, one of the most advanced country in the world, cookery is a compulsary subject in the Japanese school curriculum. Can we say they are foolish to introduce this women's job in the curriculum among science and arts?

Actually, the object of learning how to cook is to make an individual self supporting. Needless to say a knowledge of cooking helps an individual tremendously. What will happen after we graduated from Taylor and decide to go overseas to study but yet we still do not know how to cook? In this scientific age a stove can be had for a few dollars and we can devote a few minutes in cooking our food. Hence, the benefits of knowing how to cook is not only saves ur from starvation but it is more economical, hygenic and fascinating. For the sake of cleanliness and variety also, people always prefer to cook thier own food.

Of cause i admit my "mood" is totally being destroyed when i heard the "harh" from the mouth of the relatives. So.. do i need to start learning how to cook from today? Anyone wants to join me...? => to cook Maggie. =D
