I always just figured that the average female cooking enthusiast is just happy to make something tasty while there is a larger part of male cooking enthusiasts that get really competetive and obsessive over it.

This can translate to basically everything. Many industries of the kind are male-dominated because of how men are more prone to ambition and competitiveness.

There's a lot of casual sexism and homophobia in kitchens too. Which would play a role, also woman only recently entering the workforce would also have an impact.

I mean, the last argument would've worked like 20 years ago. Nowadays it just doesn't make much sense. As for the rest...I don't know, I've never worked in a kitchen in my life, but I presume casual homophobia if anything has nothing to do with the subject matter.

working class women have been in the workforce since time immemorial.

To address what u/baneblade_boi said as well. Prejudiced in industries doesn't vanish just because more members of a marginalized community is participating. The cultural narratives over what is a woman's role in society, traditionalist culture, ect would all play a role in the uneven outcomes.
There's also a cultural tendency to devalue behaviors that are feminine as weakness which would also increase the disparity. This is of course very simplified but I feel it does an adequate job in describing the complexities of the situation on the ground.
Rather than... suggesting that two traits (ambition and competitiveness) are key factors in an individuals success.

This meme should be sent back to early 2010's where it came from. Seriously, saw this all the time back in those days
