Because they will try to gatekeep things they don't even KNOW about.
I'm trying to code websites, for example, and dudes who have NEVER coded ANYTHING try to talk down to me under the guise of helping.
I think if I were married, I'd just keep a double life so they can't suck the life out of me for their own ego.
Had a guy get mad at me for knowing how to change my own car battery.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not a tomboy, I love makeup, shows for the girls and things they can't typically barge in on. But things I'm actually interested in, they treat like a competition. I really can't stand most male personalities.
If a guy was into doing peoples' makeup, I wouldn't barge in and tell him how to do makeup that he's been doing for decades, or whatever.
There have been a few dudes who actually wanted to bond over similar interests, but most of them really think I don't have an actual personality.

And therefore I never went surfing. As soon as we broke up I was surfing all the time
