I was sick and tired of homemaking so come high school, I demanded they let me into agriculture class. The good ol’ boys weren’t too happy with the first, ugh, girl. Welding is way more fun than slicing potatoes or sewing a shirt.
I’m all for girls being allowed to take shop and boys to take home ec. What I think is ridiculous is what happened to the shop class in my school right after I graduated. (Millennial generation here, to give you a sense of time.) They got rid of it because it was almost always an all-male class and that was considered hatefully sexist even if it just occurred naturally.
