I mean, I see some of the other anons' point. This particular character trait is often poorly done by writers who gloss over the symbolism and create simplistic binaries out of laziness. But I don't think the solution is to only write medieval fantasy women who fight AND rebel against the patriarchy AND also love embroidery and recognize it for the refined art form that it is. The warrior maiden can hate embroidery. It makes sense for such a character to resent something that a) she is being forced to do, b) she might not be particularly good at, and c) is largely disregarded in her society anyway. The writer should just... make an effort to acknowledge these facts within their own narrative, which I will allow that many don't.

AYRT. IA. Many don't because they don't delve into the building frustration behind it; they just portray embroidery as useless or whatever.

I feel like the connection between the frustration on the one hand, and the judgment of embroidery on the other, is in most cases obvious enough to be getting on with.
