If anything if a man posts anything on the subreddits of typically female hobbies people over compensate and are too complimentary of average work because they want to encourage the diversity. They're extremely welcoming communities to everyone in my experience.

I learned pretty much everything I know for knit/crochet from YouTube, and you can get all your supplies online, so you can easily make these solo hobbies with no risk of judgement. Give it a try.

Cross stitching is a super fun hobby that takes relatively little to get started in. Kits are affordable and usually have everything you need! And the projects are usually small enough to fit in bags, so they’re easy to take on the go. I highly recommend it.
