Chef Marinka then advised parents to start instilling knowledge about gender equality in their children from an early age.

"In real life, the implementation of gender equality, especially between husband and wife, is still in a very early stage. This reminds us that the spirit of gender equality must start in the family at home and must be taught to the younger generation as early as possible, one of which is through the understanding that men also deserve to cook," concluded the woman whose real name is Maria Irene Susanto.
