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?

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.

(btw not all frat boys are like this ofc but it’s pervasive)
