Ok that might have been misogynist as well....
That's why the vast majority of chefs are male.
It's one of those complicated cases; being a chef is generally regarded as acceptably manly (possibly because it involves the opportunity for loudly shouting orders), while cooking at home remains seen as a girly pursuit. Doesn't bother me, of course, since I can bake a cake, then restore my testosterone levels by playing with plastic spacemen...

Agreed. She looks fake, too much tan, make-up too thick - you just know she'd be a total nightmare.
Edited for those too sensitive to stand seeing a swearword starred out, as can be found in any newspaper on any given day - unlike 'gak' and 'feth', the meanings of which are obvious to all here.

You say that like I'm unaware of the fact that I can name Jamie Oliver and Heston and Gordon Ramsey off the top of my head and pretty much know feth all about the female ones.
It still doesn't make cooking widely perceived as "manly" though does it?
feth me, I can name male dancers and poets and strippers but it doesn't mean I think they could have me in a fight! (They couldn't, even that big fether out of the full monty)
Cooking is definitely perceived as being effeminate. I don't personally think its particularly girly to cook, and I can cook alright myself cos my missus if a hoofing cook and she has been training me for years, but in society as a whole, cooking is viewed as being girly.
Manly things include rugby, cage fighting and painting tiny plastic soldiers.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Cooking can be manly as hell, just look at barbeque.
Admittedly it can also be extremely effeminate if french food is anything to go off.
That'd be something to watch...
Though i suppose i'd be brought in as a witness for his murder trial...

Thats why I'm part of a carefully designed team bolstering each other's weaknesses. I paint and seal the carefully painted marching ducks to be placed in marching order on top the cake. The wife bakes the cake. Team Wienie circle like furry sharks and clean up any tasty bits that fall on the ground. Rusty the Tank dog keeps the sofa from floating off. We raffle the cake for band boosters so band can go to Six Flags. The kids sleep til 3.00PM and then eat all my food. Wait I sense a flaw...

May we vote for the MMA lady and the pole vaulter instead? They are much more attractive.

That walrus is seriously well hung in the tusk region.
But seriously, hands down winning the thread in attractiveness is the highjumper....that kind of image immediately motivates me to get fit...next monday.
FFS on the mysogyny,..... a woman in tails is hot? I could say that was misogynistic as she is wearing "man clothes", grow another sexual politics sensitive point. That gak belongs in the 60's when thoughtless stupidity was rife.
and btw chefs don't count as male, they have their own distinction of being "deviants" i know, i was one and talked to many chefs and the conversations were interesting to say the least

Oh god...those eyes are friggen terrifying. Also, Eva Longoria is much more attractive than her. And so is Sofia Vergera, and so is Selma Hayek, and so is Christina Hendricks, and so is Jessica Nigri...really, I could just go on. This means by your logic, there are several walruses out there who are more attractive than Stacy Dash.

Fixed.
*This depends on your neighbourhood. If you live on a chav estate the girl next door and this Stacy Dash will likely have a lot in common.

Agreed. She looks fake, too much tan, make-up too thick - you just know she'd be a total nightmare.
...but she's of african, bajan and mexican descent... I seriously doubt she does any tanning at all.
And she's been acting since like 1982, and I can't remember a single controversy or scandal involving her - that much time in and around hollywood with a record like that makes her sound pretty low key to me.

Oh wait you're serious...

Are women that are attracted to fat men actually closeted lesbians because of man-boobs? Take the advice you gave to Melissia, stick to your field, and leave sexual psychology to other, more sensible intellects.

Asserting that any physically fit woman is manly is definitely misogynistic.
No it's not. Misogyny is disliking all women. If one were only to dislike physically fit women, that is not misogyny.

Just so we're all clear, the girls in the bottom photo are skinny. We're just comparing them to overly-idealised pictures on the internet. I think maybe one of them crosses the line from 'skinny' into 'normal'.
They're just not ridiculously skinny like we're used to seeing.
Also love seeing the nerds on here insisting they wouldn't be interested in women from either picture.
Guys, you wouldn't sleep with any of the women in any of the pictures. We know. But it wouldn't be because of your choice...
