But what if it was reversed? What if we refused to wear a "man's hat" or if I said someone would make a good wife? Am I insulting the man by saying that his skill as a cook means he would "make someone a good wife someday?"
I suppose that I could mean that in a belittling fashion, actually. So, yes, maybe it is meant to demean their work or their attributes by suggesting they are not "masculine"...Hmmmm!
