    So like these guys clearly don’t have grandma’s that quilt, or crosstich or paint, or play old people sports?

    It explains the rise of male toxicity. No grandma to teach 'em to be kind.

      They literally do not think of quilting or crossstich and such as hobbies. They’re not “important” like woodworking or rebuilding engines.

      This is why STEAM (STEM + arts) is important.

        Jesus. So I talked with my Dad, cause I literally had no idea about this.

        He said exactly this: “Then I think your mom and I did a pretty good job raising you. Yeah. What they really believe is that women can’t have anything. Independence, rights, careers, hobbies, property, education, anything but a husband, children, and chores.”

        I knew about the remainder of the stuff, but hobbies seems so impossible to prevent. How would someone not get bored to death without them?
