Is it sexist to assume girls want to learn how to cook?
The wife and I were doing some Christmas shopping, and I wanted to get an easy bake oven for her 10 year old daughter. However she became upset and said I was being sexist, assume she would want to learn to cook. She insisted I get her the new iPad Pro instead, so she could learn how to code. They started a Black Girls Code club (http://www.blackgirlscode.com) at her school and she just joined (even though she's only half black). I really think she should learn to cook though, since my wife isn't teaching her (she can barely cook herself).
What do you think? Which should I get her? Also, how do I appease my wife? She's still quite upset, and when she gets like this, she tends to withhold sex, so I'd like to get this solved ASAP!

In today's society it may very well be considered sexist to assume your daughter, may want something geared towards girls.
But I guess that also means that me being a guy, and having got one for christmas when I was small doesnt automatically mean my parents though it was gay.
buy what you believe your daughter may like for chirstmas, and explain to your wife why, if she doesnt respect that ask her why. and if she gives you some loony feminist answer divorce her now because your saving yourself alot of trouble down the road.

If you assume only girls should cook and that guys don't need to learn, then, yes, that is a sexist mind set.
However, if your daughter hasn't shown any interest in learning how to cook, an easy bake oven probably isn't a great gift for her. Plus, easy bake ovens suck. If you want her to learn to cook, teach her to cook with a real oven.
In the same way, has she shown any interest in coding? And if she has why not get her something more simple like a Raspberry Pi? I think both of you need to look beyond what you WANT you child to be interested in and find out what she would actually want.
How about you ask your daughter what she wants for Christmas instead of shoving "learning how to cook/code" down her throat? Let's be real here: she probably just wants a new phone or a pair of Uggs.

Wanting a touch screen only device like an iPad to learn to code is ridiculous. Any developer worth a shit will want a proper keyboard.

Is the mommy bunny in OP's pic a whore because she isn't covering her breasts?

>doesn't see that as racist
Your wife is a hypocrite.
Instead maybe enroll in cooking classes for you and your daughter to take. It'd be a great way to bond.
Also, don't call the kid your wife's daughter. You're married to the woman, treat her like she's your own.

No, this is a troll copy and paste thread and has been linked to another version of said pasta. You got baited because you are stupid.

Ayyy knowing how to cook is a skill every one should have, in this day and age. An easy bake oven isn't going to do this. Also you're a ceckhold for dating a single mother, especially one that spawned a niglet.
Also, is how I ended my advice racist?
Also, also, tryin to teach a girl how to code is like trying to teach an autistic boy social skills. Trying to teach a black girl how to code however, is like trying to teach a silver back gorilla how to give hugs instead is ripping you apart.
DONT FEED THE TROLL

tell her you weren't assuming anything and that you just thought she might like cooking. You were exposing her to a new area of interest that she may or may not end up having a passion for.
Turn it around on your wife. SHE's the one who's hypersensitivity to the patriarchy made the situation sexist when it wasn't. tell her you would have gotten an easy bake oven if the kid was a boy and that cooking is a hobby that children of any gender tend to enjoy.
how would your wife feel if she were limiting her daughter by denying her a potential passion? "NO honey, no cooking- that's too stereotypical! go find something you like that challenges gender binaries, like robots or coding!"
Tell your wife if she wants to get your dindu nuffin an iPad she can pay for it herself
