I have the book out from the library and have yet to read most of it. It's aiming to be more readable than academic, which is good in many ways, though of course occasionally triggers my "you should be citing this!" reflex. I'll post more as I get a chance to read it.

Not like I'm saying the dudes need to take over the ladies' hobbies, but I'm pretty much all for people being able to make and do creative stuff without having to worry, "OMG does this violate hegemonic gender norms?" Also, I hope I can some day have a title as impressive as "yo-yo ninja." That’s kind of nice to know, actually.

Two notable ‘crafter-dudes include Dennis of Joined at the Stitch/Vagrant Aesthetic (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=10616) and venerable musician, visual artist, and yo-yo ninja Doctor Popular (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=78702).
