A man makes blankets and he “works in textiles” a woman makes blankets and she “has a hobby making quilts”.
My goodness me. I think this might be the dumbest thing I’ve read all day. Well done.
I can’t quite remember the class in college where this was pointed out to me, if it was an actual gender studies class or some something more anthro/history oriented but its stuck in my brain.
Especially poignant when my partner was called a “housewife with a hobby” by a bank loan officer when trying to get a small loan for farm equipment.
