I think as well though, there was a change in working patterns and convenience foods. Used to be that one parent working full time was enough for a household - maybe with the other parent working part time as well. But since the 80s more households have had both parents working full time, and since the 90s more of them working two jobs or double shifts just to make ends meet. With the move to more and more reliance on convenience foods and less and less time to actually do the basics of housekeeping and cooking those skills get dropped off along the way. So, it wasn't just the move for equality meaning that girls were no longer being taught to cook - parents with less and less time and less and less reason to cook in the first place.
