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.

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. :)

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

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?
