kinkyturtle: flintandpyrite: kakumei-no-tomoshibi: ravengoodwoman: flintandpyrite: Inexplicably annoyed by men writing about knitting! ??????? The tags on this are extraordinary: girlfriend: *does a completely harmless craft that she enjoys, creating something while she watches tv*boyfriend: “what is this anti-feminist spinster shit, i’m so alienated” This is from a story called “Blood, Root, Knit, Purl” by 55 year old Andrew Dubus III. The best part is how, after this paragraph where he envisions her to be like a housewife from Ye Olden Times with no personal freedom or drive who is totally reliant on her husband, he reflects on how “there was something deeply comforting about this image of her.”Yeah, I bet there was. -- source link
