This is some poor bull shit... when did growing anything make anyone fragile?... get outta here with your bs. Do you just go around trying to start shit?

Why would you make up something like that? Maybe its your own masculinity that is fragile?

    When I was young, I got made fun of for wanting to help my mom plant and tend to a garden with basil and tomatoes. It didn't kill my love for plants but childhood cruelty sticks with you.

    I had 2 older brothers and 1 younger while growing up, we lived rurally and we would have a huge garden and we were all expected to work in it. Personally, i liked it, but I didn't always like it cuz I was a kid I guess, but I liked it enough I have my own garden now and nobody forced me.

    I was also homeschooled, so I didn't know a lot people, but I never got made fun of for gardener.
