A skill or knowledge that you have that is typically associated with people of the opposite gender but that you think is odd or stupid that people of your own gender don't have? (lemmy.world)

I start with a couple: knitting and crocheting. They are two of the two most useful things I've learned so far, all thanks to my grandmother and one of my aunts. Creating bags to carry things, repairing pants, jackets and backpacks, creating little cushions for my lower back or to support my wrist when I'm in the office, etc.

I still remember with some humor how my grandmother insisted to me that, as a man, I should not be ashamed of knowing how to crochet.

Oddly enough, my sister is the one who doesn't know how to do either those things lol

Yeah... Sometimes I wish I didn't have this association just because of the gender i was born. Like the feeling of being viewed as threatening just because you are male and a stranger.
