We're playing old tapes. Home economics is unisex and necessary even for singles. Same for learning how to parent. "I'm never going to use this," is the common objection anyone makes to being "forced" to learn something. But it goes against principles of social equality not to ensure all people have access to fundamental life skills and vital guidance concerning their importance.

It's really in the interest of a country's future workers that they know not just how to get a living but how to maximize the "life" side of work/life balance (a thoroughly progressive priority).
