Gendered question, I know. If you don't identify as a man, please feel free to answer with whatever you want. I meant to post it in the Men's Lib sub but somehow it always bugs for me.

Let's spill the tea lads

I like painting my nails.

I like gardening and I take great pride in my plants and upcoming indoor veggie and herb garden.

I dance when I go out.

I like bright colors.

I like candles that smell nice.

I like flowers.

I like Harry Styles.

I like crocheting.

Whatever you like, be proud of it. There is no such thing as liking something unmanly. Nothing can harm your manliness. Do what you want.

Women were forcefully relegated to housework only, so things like cooking and sewing were all that women could do if they didn’t want to go insane or be beat.

So by extension, in many places those tasks are considered unmanly.

It's weird but as soon as a man can make good money doing it, it's no longer women's work. Programming? Nope. Masculine now. No women allowed. Cooking? Nope. You're a Chef now. No women in the real kitchen. Transcribing? Yes, good men of the cloth, women can't transcribe. Eww gross typewriters, women's work.

Anything to perpetuate that women don't get independence or equality.
