Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

I kind of agree. It used to be considered manly to be able to do those things, in fact. I was in (Boy) Scouts, and there were badges for sewing and cooking, and we all had to learn how to sew patches onto our sashes at the very least.

Now if I get a tiny hole in a favourite shirt or lose a button off a favourite pair of jeans? I don't have to wastefully get rid of it and spend hard cash (that I could be using on entertainments, investments, etc.) on new clothing. I can mend it. And it takes all of five minutes (or less) so the "better things to do with my time" arguments come from people who not only don't know how to do this shit, but don't even know anything about doing this shit. "I have the money to make other people do it for me, and choose to squander that money rather than do it myself and save that money for the future/things I enjoy" is hardly the epitome of rational masculinity. It's rather the opposite.
