      Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids

      Wow… there’s a lot to unpack here… have you ever met a woman before?

        I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram, posting their best moments online. Ofc similar for some good-looking men as well. That’s why I assume most people here are either men or lgbtq+.

            I’m almost guaranteeing that the person you are replying to is making a joke, because of how ludicrous it sounds. “I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram” implies that the commenter has literally never met a woman in their entire life and only knows about them via a website that they’ve never even been to themselves, as the information about them being on instagram is itself second hand. Like, it literally makes women sound like cryptids.

              But like, how is a human being possible without penis and balls? Where does the pee come from? Where do they store it?

              I don’t know man, seems a bit too surreal to me.

          Oh cool she definitely represents the entire female population of the world. Maybe you should go try and meet a second or even third woman (not including your mother), it might give you a broader perspective.

              You really are confused, I never asked for a list, and didn’t take this personally in any way.

              I just think you have some weird misogynistic views of what a woman is, and what their interests are.

      I don’t understand why men are even on here. Every man I know is so busy chopping down trees, wrestling bears and building log cabins. How does anyone on here even find the time!?

      Are you all even real!?!?

      I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.

      The things the women in your life are doing, are providing services for the people around them, through food, knitted goods, and photo albums. Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.

      Six years ago, my terrible ex would have said that I loved reading organizational blogs and baking, but that’s because he was a slob whose family had weekly parties that I was expected to bake for. Maybe all the women in your life are stepford bots, but maybe you should try learning to knit or cook with some of them, and see if they branch out or just need some help.

      Edit: grammar

        TL:DR for the folks at home:

        “The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”

        “Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]

        No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

          I completely overlooked the mistake until now, it should be: “are providing services for the people around them…”

      When I have time to kill I dick around online and usually ignore anything else I could do. Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids, building and maintaining relationships with people in the real world, cooking amazing food just because they want it, getting involved in the community, working some extra side jobs, and generally doing stuff to make their world and the world around them better.

      Are there any women you know who aren’t housewives?

      There is just a general assumption that they’re smart enough not to waste their time with it and they have better things to do, like actual hobbies and friends/family to see.

      Did you actually ask other people what they think, or are you projecting? Because this doesn’t represent me at all

              My wife and I are waiting until marriage until we have some free time this holiday to play it co-op. We’ve had similar problems in the past with games like Warcraft 3, but the amazing coop system in the Borderlands franchise has allowed us to log hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing together - hoping that BG3 works similarly well enough.

                The co-op is pretty good, though there are a few tiny frustrations - I can’t automatically use an npc party member’s skills in conversations (like guidance or bardic inspiration) if they’re under my husband’s control instead of mine, for instance. Our problem is that we both want to finish the storyline for ourselves before making storyline decisions in our co-op campaign and I have an entire day off that he doesn’t thanks to working 4 10s instead of 5 8s. So I have to wait for him to push ahead in his campaign before we can play ours, but I can just play mine at my leisure, lol.

              The fact you think motivation, caring for you family, and having social media are mutually exclusive says a lot about you. If you think women on Reddit, lemmy, whatever social media are unmotivated because they don’t knit hats and care for children or whatever you define as womanhood you might need to reflect on what you think womanhood is outside of your personal experiences with the women in your social bubble.

              Women might use Reddit or lemmy or a number of social media sites to find a social group to connect with that they don’t have in their immediate area, just like men do. They are normal people who don’t have to adhere to whatever gender ideologies society wants to ascribe to them. Also spending time on sites like this can just be an hour in the morning or evening not an entire life so you might never see them do it.
