That's a common prejudice. My ex-wife grew up in a family of
crafters, so her opinion was, "if you don't create something
you can hold or give as a gift, it's not a 'real' hobby." Her lack
of respect for my hobbies (mom she often urged me to "grow
up" and take up some "real" hobbies) is one of the reasons
she's now my ex.
