Ghanaian media personality Abena Moet has expressed her views on the need for men to contribute to household chores, particularly cooking, when their wives have demanding careers.

Speaking as the host of GHOne’s Toast, Abena challenged the traditional notion that men should not enter the kitchen, emphasizing that shared responsibilities are essential for a balanced relationship. She further highlighted that in many homes, it has become the norm for men to avoid cooking simply because of their gender. She argued that if a woman works long hours and contributes equally to the household, it is unfair for her to return home to find her husband waiting for her to prepare a meal.

“I can’t go out there, work over 12 to 15 hours, sit on the table of men, argue my point and make a business deal, return home, meet you sitting on the couch, and just because you are the man, you have been waiting the whole day for me to come and cook. Nobody will,” she asserted.

According to her, the situation is different if both the husband and wife have equally demanding careers and return home at the same time after attending an event or work engagement. However, she criticized the mindset that cooking is strictly a woman’s duty, regardless of how tired or stressed she may be.

Abena Moet further clarified that this conversation is not about a woman earning more than her husband but rather about fairness and shared responsibilities in marriage. She encouraged couples to find a balance in household duties, ensuring that neither partner is overburdened by traditional gender expectations.
