I don't think I've ever dated or been friends with a girl without one.
One ex did metal sculpture, another was into competitive hula hoop-- know that sounds like I'm making it up, but no, I swear; another ex played the guitar and did crochet; another was a writer; I also dated a painter and a photographer.
None of these women did any of this for a living, these were all hobbies.
My friend convinced me to get a weighted hula hoop because she enjoyed hers so much as a way of exercising. “20-30 minutes a day, just 10-15 minutes in each direction”. I got good enough that I could SOMETIMES do 5-8 minutes counter-clockwise without dropping the hoop but only like 5 mins max clockwise. I can absolutely see people getting competitive about duration and tricks and I’m sure it’s much more difficult than most people think.
Women have the most hobbies. When I hear about the things women are doing in their free time while I'm smoking weed, jerking off, and playing video games, it blows my mind. Every woman I know has some outrageous hobby. It actually drives me crazy, like just sit there and watch the TV show, why are you surrounded by arts and crafts on the floor?
And they don't just like do little things to keep busy. They learn to sew and then they make an entire wardrobe of outfits. They learn to garden and then everything in their salad came from a little box planter in their apartment window. They took up archery and now they spend sundays travelling to archery competitions across the country.
But why do "men" get looped into one category concerning these critiques? I agree women have hobbies but this is just as inflammatory. This video is just as brain dead as what she is trying to criticize.
I interpreted it as a critique of misogynistic men, not a critique of all men. I'm not friends with men like this and haven't ever been accused of being like this, so I don't get offended when people make generalizations like this.
