I think it's the lists you're on. I'm pretty sure I've not met any like that in the 35 states of the US that I've been to so far. However, you will realise that there are (at least) two issues which make my sample far from random:
1) I've mostly met educated, intelligent women who are single or who have educated, intelligent partners and either don't indulge in such silliness as you're talking about or are so busy earning heaps of money that they don't cook much anyhow.
2) The 35 states I've been to don't include the red-neck-infested, boring band of farming states down the middle. (This is something that all coastal US residents tell me is, indeed, the preferred situation. While they suggest that I should not go out of my way to remedy it, I suspect I will do so for the sake of completeness somewhere along the line.)
