Female knitters bragging like men

I suggest an easier way to knit, and these knitters respond by bragging about how how strong their hands are. That is a silly brag.

One of the great virtues of womanhood is that they often find better, faster, easier, smarter ways of doing work.  In this case, they are bragging about being strong enough to to knit the hard way.

I do not care how strong one is, if one works smart, one can get more done, with less stress to the body.  In short, they are bragging that they are strong enough to be able to work dumb.  That is a man's brag of the worst kind.
