Plant growing is gendered now?

All the cishet men I’ve known who have had gardens grew all kinds of stuff, from fruits and vegetables to culinary herbs and flowers.

Maybe I’m in a bubble but damn I feel sorry for the dudes in the OP.

yes. everything is gendered for gender warriors.

i'm cishet and i have a garden and most women i date think it means I'm secretly gay. the cat doesn't help.

gardening is considered feminine, or for old people. not for younger men who are supposed to be virile and dominant. they should be hunting.

Weird. Have they seen how much you can provide from a garden?

Also, having a garden doesn't preclude one from hunting... whatever that means in the modern era. You can only eat so much meat.
