[@MrOrcshaman]

She also wanted her nephew to keep the peace between him and his father and brother, not for their sake but for him, she clearly didn't want him having continued strife in his life. That said, they dug their own grave, showing no love or support for him and then trying to mooch off his success, they can both go rot.

Why was he surprised he didn't help with the tuition he legit admitted he hated him

[@heilinstarling9436]

"Never really loved" and "hated" are pretty different things. And if his father saw him as some sort of burden or a nuisance - it would probably be reasonable for him to pay the tuition just so OP would leave to France, get his degree and a job and would dissappear from his dad's life. Or maybe do it in his wife's name. OP didn't explain the relationship between his parents at all, but I don't think they were hostile towards each other, so it isn't too far fetched to expect OP's dad to take care of his and his wife's kid, even if he personally doesn't like him.

0:30 The wild thing about "typically feminine things" is that they haven't really been typically feminine. Cooking - In a home, this is typically the woman's job. In a restaurant, all of your most well-respected chefs have been men, and the restaurant industry is a heavily male-dominated place. The "womanly" thing here is in serving a partner, not the cooking. Sewing - In a home, this is typically the woman's job. Historically, seamsters were men, much of the time (maybe 70/30), and all of today's major fashion outlets were founded by men, with men holding executive positions pretty much across the board. Again, the "womanly" thing is acting in service of the partner/family. Reading books - I have no idea what about this is feminine. If you were to write down a list of the 100 most celebrated authors, maybe 10 women would appear on that list. Women and men have about an equal rate of reading, the only difference comes in the material that they read... but even then, most of the things women read are written by men. Singing - Female singers have only been common frontrunners since about the end of the 18th century. Prior to that, men were the dominant performers in theater and song. As far as I can tell, the "womanly" thing about singing comes more from an issue that the "macho" crowd has with gay people in entertainment, but this thought process has only really existed since the 70s. (Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley were regarded as incredibly manly, and I can't really point to any outwardly "feminine" men in the entertainment industry until much later, but I think the sentiment of feminization in liberal media started in the 70s.) This thought process is what people are talking about when referring to "toxic masculinity". The notion that being manly is limited to being an idle-minded, blue collar jock with no academic interest is toxic to the point of being abusive, and it doesn't even represent masculinity, nor the values that masculine men hold. (Like, imagine describing John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, or Harrison Ford as feminine because they read scripts and play dress-up to entertain people.)

[@boneymeroney2674]

[@Manhandle730]

Good points all around. I would just add that in the past it was reading novels/fiction that was considered feminine. It was perfectly acceptable for men to read nonfiction literature. Novels were a waste of time and a frivolity, which had no place in a MAN’S mind!!!! HARRRUMP!!!(

[@Zwei22]

Your thought process is inheritely wrong. It's not those specific activities that are associated with being feminine. It's the idea of performing activities meant to TAKE CARE of the family/spouse while he takes care of funding the household. Performing cooking as a chef is different then cooking for your family. In one instance, it is a career used to obtain money and recognition for his skills, the other is purely to take care of the family. Being a tailor as a job, and patching up your childrens clothing are two different things. One has you potentially at the forefront of style and design, the other is so your kids have functional clothing. Everything about your thought process is incorrect, I'm not sure how to describe it properly. The husband takes care of finances and connections, businesses etc. The wife takes care of the household, community etc. Even if they overlap on what they're doing, the reason why they're doing it is what determines how it's perceived. So yes, cooking is perceived as feminine because women are expected to cook for the family. However, no one would call a chef feminine because being a chef is an actual career and is vastly different from being a homecook.

All the hardships OP had to face >Grows up with wealthy parents >School on another continent + cost of living paid for by aunt >Somehow saves up enough money to open a restaurant in just a few year (more money from aunt involved?)

[@admonius9668]

What a way to end my day! New video 😁

[@Toxin081]

The op’s aunt is awesome for paying for his tutition

[@SeniorCharry]

My dad was disappointed that I wasn’t into sports and other “manly” things, but he supported my interests and goals regardless. My family is pretty toxic and selfish, but my dad has always been on my side and I truly respect him. We may not have much in common, but we love each other regardless. Sad that OP’s dad wasn’t more supportive and respectful.

[@Stenorfly]

the part where I definitly went "yeah no, this is made up" is when he said "my two friends I made in France culinary school were also from my state !" Even in France, for french people, in high education, it is hard to meet someone who is roughly from the same place as you are. so you're telling me that in an internationnal culinary school, where you have to compete against the whole world for a place, and where classes are not big at all, he met not one, but two other people specifically from the same state as he was ? I don't believe it.

[@abohsukampret]

Opening a restaurant in your hometown just because you want to rub it against your spiteful family is a BAD business decision. Dealing with the smear campaign they will be regularly launching (which is NASTY in the FnB industry) is just not worth it. Like it or not, the "unnecessary drama" will always haunt him while he's there.

[@remix2593]

Judging by the ending it's safe to assume he's fine now, as he said his business is doing well and plans on expanding + he already threatened his brother with legal action due to said smear campaign, which seems to have gotten him to back off

I had written an even longer comment detailing the male/female ratio of three-star chefs in the United States and some other countries. Long story short, my internet connection failed right then and there, so I’ll provide you with the gist: The *United States* 🇺🇸 have 13 three-star restaurants, most of them co-headed, so there are 22 chefs total, and 1 among them is a woman: Dominique Crenn who heads the _Atelier Crenn._ *Slovenia* 🇸🇮 has the highest proportion of women among chefs heading three-star restaurants: 100% by the fact that Slovenia has only 1 three-star restaurant, the _Hiša Franko_ headed by _Ana Roš._ The full list: *Japan* 🇯🇵, *Germany* 🇩🇪, *Switzerland* 🇨🇭, *Belgium* 🇧🇪, *Denmark* 🇩🇰, *Austria* 🇦🇹, the *Netherlands* 🇳🇱, *Norway* 🇳🇴, *Sweden* 🇸🇪, and *South Korea* 🇰🇷 have 21, 9, 4, 2, 2, and 5×1 three-star restaurants respectively. All these 43 restaurants are headed by a single chef, all of which are men. *France* 🇫🇷 and *Monaco* 🇲🇨 have 30 three-star restaurants combined, 3 of them co-headed, totaling 33 chefs. Two of them are women: Anne-Sophie Pic heads the _Pic_ and Dominique Lory who co-heads _Le Louis XV_ with Emmanuel Pilon. *Spain* 🇪🇸 has 15 three-star restaurants. Some of them are co-headed (one triple-headed), in total there are 20 chefs. Only one of them is a woman: Elena Arzak who co-heads the eponymous _Arzak_ with her father Juan Mari Arzak. *Italy* 🇮🇹 has 13 three-star restaurants, all but one headed by a singe chef. There are 15 chefs total, of which there are 2 women: One is Annie Féolde, the first three-star-rated woman chef in Italy, who co-heads the_Enoteca Pinchiorri_ together with Italo Bassi and Riccardo Monco. The other is Nadia Santini who heads _Dal Pescatore._ *Hong Kong* 🇭🇰 and *Macau* 🇲🇴 have 10 three-star restaurants combined, one of which is headed by 2 chefs, totaling 11 chefs. For one of them, Cheung Tan-leung, I found no information about the name of the person. All others are men. The *United Kingdom* 🇬🇧 has 9 three-star restaurants, one of which is the co-headed _Gordon Ramsay_ (co-headed with Matt Abé) so 10 chefs total. Of them, 2 are women chefs: Clare Smyth who heads the _Core,_ and Hélène Darroze who heads _The Connaught._ For communist *China* 🇨🇳 I could only determine that 3 of 5 restaurants (each headed by a single chef) are men; the 2 remaining I could not find: The restaurants are the _Xin Rong Ji_ (founded by Zhang Yong) and _Chao Shang Chao_ headed by Zhang Yifeng. The *Republic of China* on Taiwan 🇹🇼 has 3 three-star restaurants, one of them co-headed, so 4 chefs in total. They’re all men. *Singapore* 🇸🇬 has 3 three-star restaurants headed by men. It’s noteworthy that all have European names Source: _List of Michelin 3-star restaurants_ on Wikipedia. Methodology: Some names are clearly male or female names. (I know English, German, Italian, Spanish, and French name patterns, so, no, I’m not fooled by Andrea or Simone.) Some chefs have articles which refer to them as “he” or “she”. Some names (especially Japanese ones) I had to look up and those turned out to be unambiguously male names with one exception, where I found the person. Some chefs have photos of them on the web and look unambiguously male or female.

[@3GenEditz]

I’m still confused, HOW TF IS COOKING FEMININE?! I LOVE COOKING, it’s fun and relives stress to me, and seeing my family eat what i made with happiness makes me happy

[@yaqbulyakkerbat4190]

[@nerfwizardwhen9195]

Chef is probably one of the manliest profession ever in my opinion.

[@shortangel333]

idk male prositute is also pretty manly

[@Kingdo_RGT]

Well yes, but I hear somewhere that most women's jobs are for women until you got really good at it. Then it became a man jobs. Like food or clothes related job that are mostly seen as women's jobs, but strangely most of big peoples know in the industry are men.

[@AnimeFreakX4]

The father can't admit he effed up. That his golden child is a loser. Also op has some rose colored glasses on because the way he talks about his mom shows she didn't really defend him. But she was the only parent who seemed to care. Also the way op talks about his mom, sounds like she was abused by the dad and family. That she could never do what she wanted to do. It's sad the dad and brother have never seen op as family. I question why the aunt was trying so hard for the op to forgive the family. There are some that will say family is family. But even after all that she still kept pushing for it. I wonder if aunt feels bad for the brother with how self-destructive he is. That she was hopping that op would save him. Also making brother partner is so dumb. Because there are two other partners. What did the father think would happen. It's like all he heard was one son owns a restaurant. Also you know if brother would be made partner he would never do anything, take all his friends there eat for free then leave. Also dad would say that the brother saved the restaurant and how his other son would have lost everything without his help. Narcissist never change

[@MMCV963]

Whats stupid isnt what he texted back, its the fact he used text to send the threat lol.

[@Over2UTake]

that brother is clearly not human since all humans are born with brains

[@CuteDwarf11]

The father and younger brother remind me of my own father and entitled older sister; the main character almost feels like me, except that my story took another route.

[@Wedge_Khan]

What route was that?

[@CuteDwarf11]

@@Wedge_Khan My mother was the one I was close to; my older sister was the tomboy (which my father liked), while I was the bookish one (which he considered worthless). My older sister relished her "PERFECT GIRL" image, which she and my father, along with our other relatives loved to rub in my face. My mother loved us equally, although I could see she wasn't that fond of my self absorbed pretender sister; my sister clearly thrived when my mother died because my father never stopped her from going completely wild. My father saved 15k for her college tuition, but didn't bother saving anything for me. When I was already working, both my father and sister kept on bugging me for money even if they had their own; my father kept on telling me to quit my job so I could be his caretaker, which I refused to do. After he died, my sister kept on saying I should quit my job so I could look after her kids for her - which I also refused to do.

[@Fru1tSamura1]

Should have told the father that his mother would have been disgusted with him for what hes done

[@HinrikS]

"Cruelest thing anyone has done to me..." Should have used the chance to say that this wouldn't have made the top 10 if they had done it to you.

[@KnightRider378]

Just a few minutes in and, maybe it's just the environment I grew up in (the South), but I have never met a man in my life who would call cooking and knowing how to cook 'feminine'. Hell, my dad was always the one to cook for the family, and he's one of the most masculine people I've ever known. Same with reading. I know plenty of people who don't like to read, but I can't recall a single adult ever who actively derided it like that. It's one of the first stories I've heard on this channel that just sounds either blatantly made up, or horrendously misrepresented.

[@nevereatsoggywaffles4996]

When it comes to cooking its probably connected to taking care of home, which was the main responsibility of women throughout the history - cleaning, taking care of children and providing a meal for their husbands, hence the "woman" connotation. As to reading, idk either, but maybe it was just a hobby that couldn't be called "obviously masculine", so in a simple guy's mind, it immediately took an opposite side: a feminine characteristics.

[@KnightRider378]

@@nevereatsoggywaffles4996 I get where the idea of cooking being a feminine thing comes from, it's just not an attitude I generally see expressed anymore, even by people with more traditional and conservative beliefs, which is what makes it so weird to me. If a guy came up to me and told me he doesn't cook for himself because it's a woman thing, I'd honest-to-God think he was retarded.

[@nimoph]

Definitely the environment you grew up in. You think that isn't an actual possibility that men like that father exist? In the south of all places where religion and junk is rampant.

[@KnightRider378]

@@nimoph I'm sure men like that do exist, just that I've never known one brave enough to admit it because everyone I've ever known, religious or not, conservative or not, would likely ridicule the fuck out of them for being stupid as hell. And that's coming from someone who was raised religious and conservative, and who still is decently religious and highly conservative, but nice attempt at a strawman there, you _almost_ had something.

[@rmsiq148isstruggling3]

lol fr... Father will faint when he gets to know that majority of the chefs in the world are 'men' ... it's not an easy task to be an executive chef, you gotta go through many hardships and you gotta be very strong. Even though people traditionally put how women belong in the kitchen, this is the reality. Only the strong and passionate ones go to the top of the industry. I'm a girl and I learned in a hotel school last year and worked as a trainee at front office in a five star hotel. I've heard so many things from my trainee friends in the kitchen and other chefs about their work and that's when I realised these all.

[@xAlcoholicGamer]

No one paid for my tuition and didn't expect anyone too either.

[@homunculi0408]

If that was me, the moment I got out of my stupor from being surprised by their sudden appearance, I would've yelled for security and had them kicked out.

OP sounds like he's a realistic version of Sanji from One Piece. Passion for cooking? Check. Crappy Father and Brother? Check. Loving mother and parent figure(aunt)? Check. Also, the way OP's dad says 'bury the hatchet' Smh. OP buried the hatchet alright, just not in the ground lol.
