I cook.
I imagine it's because a man has more when it comes to the pursuit of perfection.
Just like chess, you need a killer instinct and men have that.

I've noticed women are better at wrapping Christmas presents so at least they have that.

I don't mean to be racist, but why haven't white people invented some kind of gene therapy to correct their melanin deficiencies, instead of resorting to bronzers and tanning beds?

People don't tan anymore. That is so 1990's and early 2000's

People nowadays are getting skin whiteners.

In a number of African countries, between 25 and 80% of women regularly use skin whitening products.[2] In Asia, this number is around 40%.[2] In India, specifically, over half of skin care products are sold to whiten skin.[3][2] In Pakistan, where skin lightening products are popular, creams have been found to contain toxic levels of hydroquinone and mercury.[4][5]

I don't mean to be smarter than you but clearly I am.
I also don't mean to point out your lame attempt at race baiting and I'm betting you are white and feel it makes you virtuous to say the things you do.

Interesting that you omitted East Asia, in many of whose cultures pallor was (and in some cases still is) considered more beautiful than a healthy tan, and an indicator of nobility. I have met and know of some Chinese (for instance) whose natural skin tone is as white as the palest of Irish.

I don't mean to be an ankle-biter-ignorer, but perhaps this would be a good time.

I don't mean to be woke, but wouldn't you agree that chronic speech policing is better than banning books from libraries?
