I'm reading another drama on one of the forums and I'm convinced once again: anthropologists of the future won't need to excavate our cities. Archives of women's threads will be enough for them, Ukr.Media informs.
The plot is worthy of a European festival film: a man methodically brings homemade borscht to his unmarried friend.
My friend, whose diet usually consists of boring cooking from the nearest supermarket, is delighted. He even introduced a rating system – he gave the borscht a solid nine. Why not ten? Who knows, maybe the cabbage was thrown in two minutes later.
The most interesting thing here is the reaction of the male courier himself. Instead of proudly appropriating a part of his wife's culinary triumph, he skeptically throws out: “The poor guy is just hungry.”
Brilliant move. To devalue both my wife as a cook and my friend as a gourmet with one careless phrase.
But the commentators have already smelled blood. They don't believe in simple male solidarity. Literally in the third message, a version of a hidden passion between them appears.
Somewhere between advice to pour a sleeping pill into a barrel and serious suspicions of passions, it flies by: “Look for Rafael in a man’s underwear.” I imagine the author going to check men’s underwear for candy, and I can barely hold back my laughter.
I look at this hysteria and think about how we cling to control.
The woman who cooks this meal isn't worried about the cost of three days' worth of meat or the time spent. She's triggered by the fact that some of her homemade food has simply been taken out the door. She's been made the invisible cook in a strange male bromance. And the man is also acting as a good Samaritan at someone else's expense.

First the new ones ↕ Bearded Pike 🤬 Brazen theft of labor 03/26/2026 14:57 I myself have repeatedly suggested to my student son to feed a classmate who lives in a dormitory and is clearly malnourished (although my son has never done this, I don't know why). But bringing, and even on a regular basis, homemade food to an unmarried buddy is definitely too much. It would be fair to teach both of them a lesson – to kick the married one out of the house – so that he himself would experience “all the hardships of bachelor life” … and at the same time learn how much money and time it costs to cook a pot of borscht + Reply
