Hilarious to me they think that way. Im a dude in my 40s and when I was a kid it was ingrained in me that I needed to know how to sew because repairing clothes was a necessary skill. At minimum I needed to be able to make a shirt and pants and to fix buttons. I took two years of home ec my last year of middle school and first year of high school to learn to sew and make clothes.

I learned to sew in middle school.
When I enlisted in the navy, I was handed a sewing kit and told I better learn how to use it because uniform repairs were my responsibility.
Still I hear grown men mocking any male why knows or wants to learn a basic skill.
