This is something I've noticed a lot...women really can't wash up properly. They ALWAYS use far too much washing up liquid and end up with a sink full of bubbles, then bubbles all over the draining rack and everywhere. I prefer to wash up in just a few inches of hot, slightly soapy water, and rinse off under the tap as I'm putting things on the drainer. This way I never use more than half a sink of water to wash up the stuff after a meal for 6!
Women + dishwashers = rubbish as well. Us blokes, with our logical way of thinking and far superior spatial awareness can load up a dishwasher in such a way that the water flying around in there can get to every part of every item. Women, with their random thought processes and inferior spatial awareness, have a tendency to stack a dishwasher in such a way that dirty items are shielded from the water and still come out dirty. It's like they imagine there are little robots in the dishwasher that physically move everything around to wash it properly. Ladies, I can assure you that this isn't the case! The other problem with women loading dishwashers is that they always leave things poking down through the rack, or sticking up too high, so that the spraybars can't rotate, and then blame the dishwasher when stuff comes out dirty.
Cooking...well, I suppose women can do an acceptable job there. Obviously us blokes are better and are keen to demonstrate this fact when we have the time, which is why a higher proportion of us take over when camping. Also, I think it's safer if us blokes do it, after all women + open flames + tents = recipe for disaster. Bit too much to think about, and with poor spatial awareness I imagine the women putting the ol' barbie right next tot he tent and not really thinking about what might happen. At least us blokes make the home kitchen relatively safe by providing ovens and hobs that are securely fixed in place away from flammable materials.
Watch what happens when you get a Cadac..........the complete testosterone fuelled he-man appears, I'm not even allowed to wash it........what a shame!!

Same with my Dutch oven - there ain't no woman in this world that I will allow to wash it, cos I know she'll scrub it and use a load of soapy water, then it'll end up all rusty!
It's all to do with small boys enjoying playing with fire. As adults we blokes aren't allowed to play with fire anymore so we make up for it with camp cooking and BBQ's. Just now I've been in the yard(camping next week) and made breakfast sausages and brewed up on two different primus stoves. I'll be back there shortly and making another brew, this time on a self-pressurising petrol fuelled stove.....Now, if any of you would like something burning down my Tel.No. is..........................

I wonder,if in the future,a camp site will ever hire a cook,who will go from tent to tent,cooking for campers who cannot cook at all.It is such an obscure idea,i bet it would be a godsend for a lot of people,who genuinely cannot cook.
