Ageism and misogyny are rampant. Can't escape the stereotypes related to any craft.

I remember the granny comments back in my Montessori days. Yes, a 5 year old can be "so old lady!"

Even now, we're still seeing the "not your grandmother's" whatever.

The lesser known stereotype of the pseudo-hip-chick-obsessively-crafting-rather-than-creating-a-future-for-herself will have her day in the derision spotlight... Maybe... if there's a successful sitcom involved.

Are there any old lady stereotypes for "real" art or is it limited to the oft maligned art and crafts?
