we both work 9-5, and I the main bread winner and male am the one that does the shopping and cooking.

Cooking was commonly a male activity. Every culture had things a little different, but in nearly every culture there is some point where males are separate from the females for long enough that someone in each group needs to cook. Just hunting for the day means the men need to cook their own lunch. Armies rarely had separate cooks, you generally had some solider at each campfire that would cook.

Mens and Women's work was a thing in most culture, but it was never around cooking. (except possibly there very richest where the men would cook while hunting, but the girls would have servants do it)
