I was feeling bad about this last night. But then I remembered when I was 14 and I asked my mom if we could bake an apple pie together and she looked at me like I was an idiot and said, very matter-of-factly, "boys don't bake pies."

I hate when folks, especially parents who are so ingrained in fake ass gender roles and just actively become toxic, rude and disparaging their kids. Sorry you had to go through that Marcy, I was lucky my Hippie Mother was so cool about me being Trans....my Father tho...

Ice cold water and cold butter are the secret. Mix the dough as quickly as you can and put in the fridge.

No unfortunately, sometime shit just get squirrely. Cover it with enough ice cream and no one cares 😅

And the whole, "boys don't bake" thing is such a load of shit. You know what boys bake? The ones that don't give a fuck what you think about them, because they either 1.) enjoy baking or 2.) enjoy eating baked goods. In my experience, guys that like those two things are awesome.

I don't bake often (mostly out of laziness and the fact that I don't need to eat lots of sugar) but I always enjoy it when I do. Baking isn't some sort of gender thing. It's COOKING and everyone should be able to cook. These pies, btw, were absolutely delicious.

As a boy I can confidently say that I like baking.

Right?! I think it's fun and I like cookies and pies... For a society to have made these things kind of gendered makes zero sense.

It’s ridiculous. (Also I think I have some family pie recipes if you need them.)

shoulda said to your mom the french laundry is run by a man and most of their famous pâtisserie chefs have been men. (Duff Goldman, for example)

I don't feel sad about it how I used to. More, like, irritated? She and I probably could have had so much fun together if she hadn't been so rigidly stuck into conservative/Catholic gender roles. And it sucks that we both missed out on that. Ugh.
