You've Got To Be Kidding

Chris Matthews Thinks It’s “Weird” For A Man To Cook Dinner


Chris Matthews isn’t exactly known for his delicate approach to gender relations. That much is clear.

But Matthews, obviously still suffering from the significant foot-in-mouth disease he contracted during Hillary Clinton’s 2008 primary run, went on “Hardball” this evening to share an even more bizarre attitude toward men’s and women’s roles in a marriage. Unfortunately, his particular views haven’t been relevant for several decades.

Here’s what he said:

“I don’t watch television the way most regular people do, meaning most people come home, they’re tired they go in the living room, maybe they watch T.V. while their wife, in some cases, making dinner, or the husband — in some weirder cases — is making dinner.”

There are a handful of conclusions we can draw from this segment. What’s obvious is that women are definitely supposed to be the ones cooking dinner.

What’s unclear is precisely how the situation becomes so “weird” to Matthews, once it’s the husband cooking the dinner as opposed to the wife. Is it that a man is now cooking and his wife should be? Or has Matthew’s heteronormative fantasy land just been shattered by the idea of “the husband” cooking for another husband? It’s perplexing.

One thing’s for sure: Matthews wasn’t kidding when he said he doesn’t watch T.V. It’s clear the last sitcom he caught was “The Honeymooners.”

    I don’t know Chris, But do you think it is weird to get a thrill up your leg because of another man?

    I hit replay on dvr when I first hear him say it. Yup. He’s old.

    I guess that’s why the liberals love him, he’s such an AH.

  • sid_id

    Seems rather obvious to me what he is saying, just listen to the words coming out of his mouth, instead of trying to put words in them.

    GLAAD should be demanding that he be fired!  This is an obvious anti-gay slur!  If two gay men live together, do they have to hire women to cook for them?

  • Just some Blow Hard…

    He obviously has never been divorced…

    Waiting for liberal outrage over these sexist comments… *crickets*

    What a sad excuse for a human being.  Typical Cocktail Club East Elitist.  The world does not revolve over the East Elites or the West Wonders.

    We may be on the verge of cutting our losses and letting these libeal states fend for themselves.  The mood is there and we shall see.  Let the socialist establish their states in NY, Mass, Calif and Washington.  No one will miss these leeches.

    What if someone on the right said the exact same thing? Wouldn’t there be outrage among feminists and left-wing media talking heads like Matthews and Joan Walsh who would demand an apology?

  • Duke Chesnut

    There are many great Male Chefs that are married/children. He was being gay / Offensive and gender bending, and I demand GLAAD have him removed. His comment was an insult to Roland Martin and Rick Sanchez who was called the stupidist man on TV.

    Well Chris, I think it is weird you are allowed to have a show.  Get into the 21st Century.

  • Smack80

    I’ll bet his wife gave him an earful when he got home. He obviously doesn’t get out much. A lot of men cook, they love and they are good at it. My husband likes to cook, we’re still working on the cleanup training.

    Again, why do you people watch these shows???? Why does anyone care what the people on MSNBC or Fox have to say? Turn off the TV!

    What’s even weirder Matthews is men who get a tingle down their leg from another man.

    Maybe it wouldn’t be so weird for Mr. Mathews, if he would skip drinking lunch.
    And… I’m a father and husband that feels ALL family chores, and responsibilities should be shared. I happen to be the main cook in our family, and at social gatherings, because i like to do it, and am better than most, at the task.

    It’s getting harder and harder to listen to this guy. I used to enjoy his journalistic endeavors. I’m tired of his attempts to emulate an old bar rag. He must be a real peach at home, pits and all.

  • NDanielson

    That would only leave women to do the cooking…Sexist bigotry from a LIBERAL??? Nooooooooo!

    Oh, wait, I guess that could leave little boys and girls to do his cooking…Never mind.

    Not surprising, Tingles has long been an overt sexist.  Yet another reason I feel sorry for his wife.  First she has to hear him scream out obama’s name in bed and now this!

    He’d really be Twilight Zoned-out down here in the New Orlenas area if he thinks a man cooking is weird. Cooking is an art a lot of men engage in down here – including me.

    Love it. I’m cooking tonight as a matter of fact. Cornish hens in garlic and cajun spices.

    You should try it, Chris. And watch some TV for pete’s sake. You might actually get some useful information. Comes in handy when you have a talk show, you know.

    He must not realize men are chiefs and actually some of the best cooks in the world.  Most likely his life is a throwback to the days when one earner could support a family and send their kids to school and one parent could work at home with the kids and domestic chores…

    I love Chris Matthews. The only dinner he knows how to cook comes in a highball glass.

    How un-American of you.  Too bad it’s the red states who are overwhemingly leeching off the teet of the federal government.  Go ahead and try to secede though, it worked so well for you last time…

    What a sexist jerk. He’s so far out of touch with average Americans, it’s sickening.

    He’s getting closer and closer to letting something slip that’s gonna get him off the air. I welcome the day.

    I think the more alarming part of his comment was his distinction between “people” and “wives.” People come home from work, while their wives cook dinner. As Catharine MacKinnon asks in her book title: “Are Women Human?”

    Talk about an irrelevant guy.

    My sons were raised to be self-sufficient adults.  They can cook, do dishes, laundry, use a vacuum cleaner, mop a floor, and clean up after themselves.  Their significant others appreciate it very much.
    Matthews needs to go the way of Buchanan.
