Until I noticed what community I was in, I interpreted it completely differently. The women is engaging in a niche hobby of making something in a particular and esoteric way, and the man just bought a mass produced version of the thing; thereby completely missing the point of what she was doing.
Like, if I wanms building a chair using hand tools and an unproccessed log. Sure, you could go to a furniture store and buy a chair, or maybe Ikea and "build" one; but that completely misses the point.
Especially if the American Barber Association has a rule that none of its members may participate in the haircut; and scissor manufacturers all refuse to sell to you. So you end up having it done by a random person who doesn't mind ignoring what every barber says, using a pair of rusty scissors the sherrif was able to find at a garage sale.
