    “Girly” things are ok as a career, but not a hobby.

    If you’re a professional Tailor, it’s a respectable job that people seek you out for, but if you just like to sew…

    Chefs are predominantly male, but if you’re a guy that just likes to cook, “what are you, a housewife?”

      I guess it’s cultural, or regional, or just who you spend time around. Among my male friends, most of whom are straight and married with children, I don’t think any of them would even blink an eye at either of these things.

      I do have colleagues from other cultures and US regions (US Italian, Central America, rust belt) who I’d bet would act the way you describe. I’m not jealous of that aspect of those cultures.
