For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

    i can sew my own clothes and bake?

    Weird. Creepy.

    Hard disagree. I wish I knew how (and had the time to) make my own clothes. And, who doesn’t love baked goods? These both sound awesome.

      “Girly” things are ok as a career, but not a hobby.

      If you’re a professional Tailor, it’s a respectable job that people seek you out for, but if you just like to sew…

      Chefs are predominantly male, but if you’re a guy that just likes to cook, “what are you, a housewife?”

        I guess it’s cultural, or regional, or just who you spend time around. Among my male friends, most of whom are straight and married with children, I don’t think any of them would even blink an eye at either of these things.

        I do have colleagues from other cultures and US regions (US Italian, Central America, rust belt) who I’d bet would act the way you describe. I’m not jealous of that aspect of those cultures.

      For sure, and I appreciate that.

      They’re great skills, and if you watch a couple YouTube videos on making your own clothes, you’ll be shocked at how simple it is and how little time it takes.

      I feel very comfortable sewing and baking, this is just the best answers I have for the question.

      even just knowing enough to not consider clothes ruined when a button pops out or a tear forms would be nice
