Wait that doesn’t make sense. Warhammer 40k minis are cool, and she is not.
Playing tank & mech battles with grown men is interesting, and she is not.
Is she implying that men aren’t interested in anything? Including women? Because I find women very interesting. I might be single, but that’s because right now I’d rather paint minis and work out then have conversations with a shoe.
Yes, seriously. They think that women will only engage in something to get male attention. Makeup and fashion? They do it to be beautiful and to impress men. Sports and video games and other hobbies men might like? They’re faking it, to impress men. (Women must prove they have genuine interest usually by naming off facts or other tasks.)
It used to be a lot worse, but that attitude is still there.

She’s showing the double standard that (some) men believe women don’t have hobbies
You gotta be shitting me.
There are men who believe women don’t have hobbies?
Yes, seriously. They think that women will only engage in something to get male attention. Makeup and fashion? They do it to be beautiful and to impress men.

So like these guys clearly don’t have grandma’s that quilt, or crosstich or paint, or play old people sports?
It explains the rise of male toxicity. No grandma to teach 'em to be kind.
They literally do not think of quilting or crossstich and such as hobbies. They’re not “important” like woodworking or rebuilding engines.
This is why STEAM (STEM + arts) is important.
Frat culture can cause brain rot \o/
(btw not all frat boys are like this ofc but it’s pervasive)
