Gendered question, I know. If you don't identify as a man, please feel free to answer with whatever you want. I meant to post it in the Men's Lib sub but somehow it always bugs for me.

Let's spill the tea lads

I like painting my nails.

I like gardening and I take great pride in my plants and upcoming indoor veggie and herb garden.

I dance when I go out.

I like bright colors.

I like candles that smell nice.

I like flowers.

I like Harry Styles.

I like crocheting.

Whatever you like, be proud of it. There is no such thing as liking something unmanly. Nothing can harm your manliness. Do what you want.

So far I crocheted (?) a bookmark lol. I don't have much time to do it. My gf is making me a shirt for the summer though. She's already made bags, hats and skirts and I admire her skills. Her word is that it's easier and faster than knitting and you can make some cool things with it as well, in a pretty decent pace.

Plus, crocheted items are the cool thing to wear right now apparently. I encourage everyone to try it for themselves, though, to see how much effort is needed to make a shirt or a hat. Since crocheting can only be done by hand AFAIK you can put into perspective how much H&M underpays their workers when you buy a 10 euro crocheted shirt.

That sounds like a good place to start as I'd always use a bookmark.

The idea of bringing something into fashion that is so labour intensive and exploitative is just… smh
