They almost all appear to be very masculine in design and not really suited to what I would prefer. Please note that all of the males I have spoken to have been extremely helpful when it came to giving assistance yet as soon as I mention that there appears to be this gender bias, they become extremely defensive, even my male friends and colleagues. Below is the type of response I tend to get from them "It's a bunch of junk. I read the article and it didn't say anything. I think it's a bunch of people with research money that has nothing better to do with their time. I would appreciate if you could send me any further information or research regarding this topic and would like permission to re-print the above article or anything that you send me on my website at http://www.craftimpressions.com/articlefriendly/ Look forward to your response.
