So you finished school in 99, that makes it even worse. I would expect this kind of sexist attitude from a child, not a grown man. No wonder you're still trying to hook up with one. As for the sewing, why don't you ask your mom? I'm sure she would be all to happy to answer such a thought provoking question. After all she must be so proud of the man you've become and the respectful attitude you have towards her.
