They associate craftsmen with the guys who were picked first for ball games on the playground, while they were picked last or not at all. Something similar happened to a lot of us, and it sucked, but most of us got the fuck over it. Getting shit on sometimes is part of growing up. It happens to just about everyone, including most of the "cool kids" at one point or another. "Men" like Robert are still motivated by jealousy over grade school shit they have no perspective on because they've done almost no real living afterwards.It always astounds me how much seething hatred these dudes have of people that enjoy working with their hands. Its so amazingly childish and sad. I'm sure the concept of people using their hands to do things other than shovel fast food town their holes is completely alien to them.
Sure it probably is because they (or at least Bob) think we should be living in a glorious super techno-utopia where robots preform all this icky manual tasks. Part of me wonders if there isn't a bit of jealousy there seeing that the only thing Bob can grow is his stomach.
