How traditional are your female sims?
Happy International Women's Day! Want to contribute to a not-so-serious survey? My guess is that in most sim families the mom has higher cooking skills than dad. Not because the game requires it...

I scored a big, fat '0', though there are nearly two ties!
Here is the breakdown...and I included their careers, just to show my females are not just there to look after their significant other!
My couple in Sulani
Cooking level: male is 10 / female is 10 (both are in different branches of the conservationist career)
My couple in Brindleton Bay
Cooking level: male is 9 (mechanical engineer) / female is 10 (scientist)
My couple in San Myshuno
Cooking level: male is 6 (detective) / female is 10 (doctor)
My couple in Mt Komorebi
Cooking level: male is 4 (part-time fisherman) / female is 10 (part-time retail + etsy seller)
My occult couple in Glimmerbrook
Cooking level: vampire male is 3 (unemployed, lottery winner) / spellcaster female is 10 ('self-employed' - money is made from her garden, flower arranging, potions and she is also an amateur writer). And to be fair, my spellcaster acquired wealth through her own merits, and had surpassed a million simoleons herself, before marrying someone who happened to win the lottery!
This was a great question by the OP! I think I do tend to get stuck in traditional roles and stereotypes, so I would definitely keep this in mind and try something new and different with new households.
