Hi! I also read the knitting community, and I had to comment:
Every day, it seems like, the knitting livejournal community has a post asking for help in making some piece of clothing masculine enough, because to do otherwise would be a terrible insult to the man or boy receiving it.
I've noticed that too, and oh, how I hate that those posts. They drive me up the wall, particularly since my partner, who happens to be male, is continually ranting about the lack of color and patterns in mens' fashion these days. I'm always tempted to respond with something like "Well, why don't you ASK him? Men aren't all identical!" but the I suspect it wouldn't be taken kindly. :P
