No it's not weird. It's classical projection.

You should try having computer graphics as a pastime, weird looks come with the hobby. Or better still, being a woman who enjoys rugby or using a chain saw.

Embroidery, i think some of the great tapestries were sewn by men.

And i know men who knit, not many but enough to make it "not strange"

There is a weekly craft club in our village, a womans club where they go to do and talk various haberdashery hobbies (and other womens topics such as bodily functions and complaining about their men). Every year at the village AGM at least 2 men vote that the club allow a men. They are always out voted.

Americans may look at you funny, but in itself, no. I wouldn't be surprised that half your clothes are sown by men. :eek:

- Antique advertising art for machinery of all kinds.

I'm working on reducing the number of collections.
Get'n out of hand.

Bros and Rows: The Real History Of Men Who Knit | HuffPost

"About 200 A.D. Arabian men were fishing for food but they had no way to catch several fish at once. They caught one fish. Then a second fish. And it was like, Geeze, this is slow as a camel. Then one day, perhaps down by the dock, one of the guys was messing with yarn, forming loops in it, and bam! Fishing net. (Other cultures likely invented knitting elsewhere around the world.)

They stuck the net it in the water and caught a boatload of fish. And someone said, “We just invented the fishing net.” And someone else said, “Let’s invent sweaters.”

This was a very big deal because clothing back then was woven and wearing woven clothes is like wearing a bed sheet. They don’t stretch. Try wearing a hat or yoga pants made out of a bed sheet.

Soon, Arabian men were wearing gorgeous, handmade sweaters. When they traded goods with neighboring lands, the neighbors were like, “That is the most amazing piece of clothing. Teach me.”

Then the Middle Ages came and knitting spread like the plague."

Their all forms of art, should be no problem. Hopefully stereotypes are a thing of the past.
