    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?
