I start with a couple: knitting and crocheting. They are two of the two most useful things I’ve learned so far, all thanks to my grandmother and one of my aunts. Creating bags to carry things, repairing pants, jackets and backpacks, creating little cushions for my lower back or to support my wrist when I’m in the office, etc.

I still remember with some humor how my grandmother insisted to me that, as a man, I should not be ashamed of knowing how to crochet.

Oddly enough, my sister is the one who doesn’t know how to do either those things lol

    Nursing. I can produce milk from my nipples. I haven’t been given a chance to see if it can sustain an infant, but I have asked many times.

      You’ve asked women to let you nurse their babies? Many times, no less? I think they’re right to not give you the chance

        You’d rather let a baby starve than support the miracle of a man acting as nursemaid? I don’t want to criticize you personally, but I don’t like your attitude.
