Yeah, fuck all the female dominated histories of all the various textile cultures around the world, someone on the internet told me it was men who probably did it first, and women obviously just copied them!

Exasperated but unsurprised, sarcasm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] tristynalxander@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago On the other hand, the SciShow episode about knitting was so upsettingly wrong that Hank Green took it down, so I'm not particularly inclined to trust him on this topic.
