[quote:Anonymous Coward 3053613:MV8xNzQwMjE1XzI4ODI0NjQ2X0JDQjhCNEQ0] also another very very good one is the lightbulb conspiracy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1xt4nEvipg .... this talks about how they have engineered things to fall apart [/quote]

It seems like the majority of 'average' women I meet don't know how to see or knit, and have no desire to learn. Mostly they look at me like I'm weird, and ask where I get the time.
Is it that they think it makes them too 'domesticated'? Like it's soooo 1950s to make clothes by hand.
I don't have a sewing machine right now, so I'm not sewing anything. I do know how to see by hand though, which I think is a great and necessary skill. And I really enjoy knitting. I mostly make stuff for my kids, and I'm getting better at it all the time. I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to learn how to knit and sew, it's going to be so much fun to make things with her (I've offered to teach my boy, but he says it's for old ladies).
So what's up with women not caring about this kind of stuff anymore? Is it a huge conspiracy? Or am I just old fashioned?
