Why are most professional chefs men?
<|assistant|>
Historically, the culinary industry has been dominated by men, with male-dominated attitudes and practices perpetuating this gender gap within the industry. Furthermore, it can be harder for women to enter the workforce if childcare or other family obligations are a factor. Many male professional chefs have benefited from networking, connections in the industry, and mentorship opportunities, making it easier for them to launch successful careers. Additionally, the job of a professional chef often requires long and irregular hours and requires physical labour which can be difficult for women due to societal restrictions and expectations.
