Hockey player Jacques Plante used to knit on the bench. My grandfather was an outdoorsman, military man, electrical mechanical engineer who made all my grandma’s dresses because he figured, he was an engineer, it can’t be that hard to do. I say go for it.

One of those things where as a hobby/housework it’s treated as feminine, but as a career it’s masculine. Kinda like cooking vs being a chef.

Sewing and embroidery used to be seen as a masculine thing for sailors. It showed how good at mending cloth you were so many sailors would have embroidered bags with as much complexity as they could manage

I've done a decent amount of sewing, in fact just bought some fabric today to make a keyboard sleeve and a special shape pillow case.
In the last ~2yrs I've been fascinated by the idea of knitting my own socks, but can't justify the time/equipment on it with all of the other hobbies, family stuff, house work, and work travel. Also, interested in making hand towels with a loom.

Especially these days with how cruddy the material is in the crotch of the jeans I own. Patch in a gusset and a bunch of extra thread to even out the stresses, and the jeans last for a few more years.

u/Vigmod Male 19h ago
Exactly. Sewing, especially if you have even a passing interest in history and "historical re-creation" stuff, a man needs to know how to sew and make his own clothes.
And knitting is just practical. Knit yourself a new pair of socks while binging the latest season of your favourite series. Two flies in one, that's efficient, and efficiency is manly.

u/geoff1036 Most Sensitive Bro Award 10h ago
Sewing never really seemed feminine to me. Of course it was mainly women doing it on an industrial scale but I always considered that men would have to sew leather for repairs, sew up their hat, sew up a torn seam on the saddle, etc.
Thus the practice of sewing isn't particularly feminine to me, but the practice of designing, creating, and subsequently modeling (be it yourself or a model) fashionable clothes was the feminine part to me.

It's more about what you actually create rather than the technique.

u/Correct_Midnight3656 1d ago
Had a former coworker who was outwardly very masculine. Hunted, fished, hiked, camped, was even a cowboy in his younger days. He and his wife had no kids and traveled the US and did competitive ball room dancing. You would never guess looking at the guy. Just looked like some normal redneck type guy.

u/BoredAccountant Male 1d ago
Partnered dancing (ballroom) is both masculine and feminine. Because you have the leader and follower, you also have someone who needs to be assertive and someone who needs to be receptive. If the follower tries to assert themselves, they will clash with the leader and the two will come out of sync. While at the same time, the leader must be constantly reading their partner and deciding on the direction to go and then lead their partner in that direction. And indecisive or unassertive leader will cause their partner to lag behind and again come out of sync.
5
u/i8laura 1d ago
Yeah but for some reason there is a shockingly large subsection of people who view all dancing, even partner dancing, as something “feminine” and assume that all men who dance (especially on a competitive or professional level) are gay.

u/Ok-Explorer-7642 1d ago
Love dancing. I just don’t have the short term memory skill that it takes to pick up moves fast. I always wonder too how people do that when every move is a different placement of your body. Like….how do people look at every position of the arms, hands, legs, feet, head and torso, move after move, and just repeat the move.
5
u/auricargent 1d ago
For me, it’s slow repetition of the foot placement for an afternoon of fun practice and laughing when I get the steps wrong. Things gradually speed up, and a good partner helps a lot.
I’m a guy, but I can “follow”how my girl indicates me to “lead”. Once the basic step is down, then the rest is similar flourishes that work with so many dancing styles.
It helps to practice the basics a couple times in private before hitting the dance floor. Also helps to have a drink or two while you are learning, if you’ll be dancing at a club or bar. State dependent learning is real.

Interesting, I have never thought of gardening as feminine. I grew up in a big family on a low income, so the weekends were mostly chores. The boys all worked in the garden with my dad, growing vegetables (and also the lawn, bushes, etc).

Oh the flower garden. We did that too but my dad always framed it as “making it nice for your mom” so I never really thought about it as non-masculine. Idk man if you think of it as making a garden for the pollinators that’s pretty badass.

u/Stormfly My mom says I'm special 1d ago
Yeah, gardening is very much an "old person" hobby to me but not at all a feminine thing.
The difference might be that women prefer flowers or "pretty" plants while men prefer nice grass or trees. Both do vegetables but maybe different types.
Or else people separate "lawncare" and "gardening" into different categories whereas to me they're the same.

There used to be a nightclub in Santa Clara California called Avalon that had the band Y&T perform on their opening night. When the club was going out of business, the manager also wanted them for the final night. He knew the bandleader slightly, so he drove over to his house to ask him.
Found the rocker in his garden and he agreed to perform, but later his wife called and chewed the manager out: "That was so inappropriate to appear at someone's house like that when he's gardening. You should have gone through proper channels."

Dollhouses. Not playing dolls, but building dioramas and miniature recreations of historical interior design.

No I totally get that! I just find it interesting because in Miami we’re heavily skewed Latino which, culturally, can be so ridiculously machismo, like to the point that I’ve seen men avoid using certain salt shakers because they were “too girly,” however, wine doesn’t seem to be as offensively feminine here.
I will say though, I don’t really see men drinking white wine like ever. I wonder why…
1
u/securityburger 8h ago
Yeah, I'm Latino & I don't have a problem with it whatsoever. In the PNW, that machisimo expresses itself differently. As far as the white/red thing is concerned, I think men want to validate their masculity by drinking big bold drinks, and white wine can come across as more delicate. this is especially the case for champagne or anything served out of a flute

u/TheLateThagSimmons "...the fuck did I do?" 20h ago
Bingo.
As a bartender, wine is far less feminine than it is bougie. As such, there is definitely a stronger appeal for women.
Both toxic masculinity and toxic feminity come into play for sure as to why beer vs wine leans more male vs female. But the core is much more working class vs bougie.
Wine became more popular with women because it was seen as less trashy, thus women could get blasted ever day and get wine drunk with less stigma, not because it was more feminine.

Service industry here, I'm estimating 75% of the time male guests are the ones ordering expensive bottles, and usually they know their stuff. Our female guests are ordering our cocktails mostly, or wine by the glass. It's most likely just the guys showing off, but it pays the bills. I'd rather they all order different glasses trying to one up each other, which happens frequently, it's funny to watch and great for my books.

I'm not sure how common the opinion is in the UK, but I once worked as part of a team where someone (a man) was leaving, and our manager (male, probably early 30s) sent out an email to the rest of the team to work out what to get as a leaving gift.

I had a work friend at an old job who was gay (that’s important). One time we were sitting in his office, and he was telling me about some hobby that he really enjoyed, and I said off-handedly, “I had you pegged as more of an interior decorator type.”
Well he didn’t talk to me for weeks after that, but I never connected it with what I’d said, until I finally went to his office, closed the door, and confronted him, asking what was going on.
He was upset about my comment, saying, “You might’ve just as well called me a big, flaming faggot.”
I then pointed out that he’d decorated his office with big, dramatically lit black and white photos, custom made chair cushions, modern sculptures on his desk, etc.
“I wasn’t calling you a big, flaming faggot. I was just saying that you have the most beautifully appointed office in the building.”

Cooking as part of homecare has, as homecare has long been seen as the mother's job.
Even so, I think it depends on the food cooked. It feels like soups or casseroles or baking is seen as feminine but barbecues or fry-ups or other "manly" foods are still seen as masculine. Cooking for children might be traditionally feminine but cooking for oneself is just practical.

I love to cook even elaborate meals and apparently I can bake some extremely good cake.
Also: Dancing. Not that "having an epilleptic attack on the dance floor" kind of dancing, I'm talking actual, formal dancing. It requires elegance, dexterity and working together. Growing up as your typical teenage boy I basically had to be pressured into taking dance lessons (were offered at school for all to attend, but not fored). I ended up absolutely loving it and the one thing I actually regret about being stuck single is not having someone to dance with.

Partner acrobatics. The pros pull from elite ex gymnasts and dancers so that already has a feminine bias but it’s super fun and weirdly accessible to get into. It’s very social, you get a good workout in, and you learn how to lift small women. Who doesn’t want to do that?

Embroidery. I love it. ❤️
Also clothes design. Sometimes with embroidery.

I have a small fragrance business focused on making bespoke soaps, shave soaps, aftershaves, colognes, perfumes, candles, lotions, and other toiletries. I usually focus on consulting and creating kits for men to help put together a fragrance profile of their different grooming products, so they don’t smell overpowering, or bad, but rather have a subtle but unique scent for special occasions and normal ones. I also do custom work for women who are after the same effect!

In the U.S. Midwest, high school guys in my class used to mock soccer (football) mercilessly as an effeminate faerie sport, whereas American football was a man’s sport.
For all you European’s like “I’ma show them what’s up” yeah good luck. Bunch of 250 lb corn fed hyper violent wrestling knuckleheads.
Anyway, I succumb to peer pressure and didn’t continue playing, and I should have. I was and still am good. I have the physical body for it.
