I start with a couple: knitting and crocheting. They are two of the two most useful things I’ve learned so far, all thanks to my grandmother and one of my aunts. Creating bags to carry things, repairing pants, jackets and backpacks, creating little cushions for my lower back or to support my wrist when I’m in the office, etc.
I still remember with some humor how my grandmother insisted to me that, as a man, I should not be ashamed of knowing how to crochet.
Oddly enough, my sister is the one who doesn’t know how to do either those things lol
As a male?
I’m being horribly cynical, obviously - it’s not that all males lack it, it’s that the humans in the world who lack it the most are ALL MALE
Yeah… Sometimes I wish I didn’t have this association just because of the gender i was born. Like the feeling of being viewed as threatening just because you are male and a stranger.
Not all men, but ALWAYS a man.
Not sure about that. Plenty of women lack those qualities too (eg MTG, Noem, etc)
More frequent in men, certainly, but not exclusively.
Yah was gonna say, sociopaths do come in the female variety.
