| Boys are clumsy and not as sensitive as girls and cooking and housekeeping need sensitivity. | The most famous chefs are men. |
| Boys are, even today, the main earners in a family, and they should concentrate on building their career rather than household duties. | Today there are many nuclear families in India with both husband and wife earning; therefore both must cook and do housework. |
