With the "right to repair" movement gaining some traction, and being an avid tinkerer I made this sub. Post vids or stories of stuff getting fixed/repaired, ask questions about fixing your own broken stuff.

Someone at work once called me all "little house on the paries" because when a button broke off my jacket I sewed it back on. She was proud that she doesn't even know how to sew a button.

She was proud that she doesn't even know how to sew a button.

Being proud that you don't know how to stick a needle through a fucking hole a few times.

No you don't understand.... She's a proud feminist. Fixing your own simple problems is patriarchy. Just throw it away and buy a new jacket. That's empowering.

Does she not realize that a very large percentage of the workers in garment sweatshops are also women?

At least she knew what a button was. Too bad she's lazy.

That person sounds entitled and looks down on people who are self reliant with skills. DIY is for people who want to improve themselves like yourself.

I think we all understand why her husband cheated on her (and then left her for) a stripper.

because of course the stripper would do alterations for his shirts and would sew his buttons for him. THat was obvious. :)
