amd they are in the past seen as weird, abnormal, or hysterical for having interests.

I don't think it's ever been considered more weird, abnormal, or hysterical to crotchet as a gal than it has been to build bottle ships for guys. That is, sure, there's been lots of BS around the type of hobby, it not being "gender-adequate", but women not allowed to have hobbies? At all? What? Being too poor to have hobbies, sure, but that again is not a gendered thing.

don't let reality get the way of the 'man = bad woman = good' narrative.

women have always had hobbies and been hobbiest, at least among the upper classes. just as men have.

and the poor women had to work to the bone, just like the poor men.
