Because anything "feminine" = bad and useless. Things that used to be manly and important turned pathetic and unimportant once women started getting into it. If women started getting into carpentry, men would start making fun of it.

On spinster this girl told me about these Eastern gods. The goddess had traits like aggression dominance and power, while the god was passive and peaceful. Normally the traits of that god are considered feminine and weak, but in this case since it was the trait of the male, he was preferred by them. Normally dominance and power is considered masculine and good, but again in this case it was feminine and therefore not favored.

It doesn't matter what it is. If it's related to us it's spoiled by association.

Spot on. It's so obvious that when you see men shitting on female dominated fandoms/communities while ignoring/praising the male dominated ones.
