I'm really torn on it because on one hand, if calling it Thread Repair could get more people (especially men) to participate, that's a good thing! I also just like the sound of thread repair XD On the other hand... maybe men should learn to be interested in things that aren't personally catered to their tiny baby feelings. Get over it and fix your damn socks.

I dunno. I'm also eternally torn between "men created toxic masculinity and they need to fix it themselves, not expect women to do it for them" and "men need the women in their lives to help them escape toxic masculinity because we're outside it (for the most part) and everyone needs help sometimes"

Yeah, interesting for me that you picked up the masculinity still.

In that comment I actually considered that because I had written something like 'inject masculinity' into it. But as I wrote, I thought its not just young men, but women as well, much like yourself. So I tried to de-masculine it and make it about dropping the old person connotations.

I suppose I's not very successful in that. I think its the faux quote at the end that just reads so much like every male teenfluencer ever. 😆
