Why knocking knitting?
I have knitted all my life since a child. Through all my rebellious phases including a punk in the 1970's.
It is not an age related activity at all.
There are some fantastically creative knitters around in businesses who are not all even middle-aged let alone old.
We clearly do need a feminist forum when certain people, regulars here, keep using knitting as a denigrating term.
Also it's very ageist attitude.
Lack of public toilets in towns.
