This is what I'm hoping... that as needlework gains in popularity, more readers will object to its negative portrayal in media as a dumb, girly thing to do.

I think that this already has happened

Re: NAYRT

Do you have any examples?

Re: NAYRT

I can't have examples - my argument is that media doesn't do this anymore. I can't give you examples of something not happening.

It's been such a common trope for such a long time that I'd be happy if it's gone away, but I'm not as convinced as you seem to be that it has. Some examples of mainstream female characters doing needlework shown in a positive light would be a stronger indication of what you're arguing.

How about Miraculous Ladybug? Marinette designs and sews clothes, she also knits - and while she's a bit of a girly-girl, she's also a superhero.

That's very cool, thank you!

I think that there's something promising on that front going on with the recent revival in female characters interest in not only fashion, but also dress-making? From the top of my head - both Cruella and Cindirella had main characters making their own clothes as sign of their creative agency and enterpreneurial ambitions? Quality of the films aside, there's something going on here, thsi interest in production side of things. There are probably some better examples out there, but I haven't been watching a lot of tv series recently, so I'm not up to date on much.
