If you live in South Louisiana, you understand that this isn't sexist.
The worse I've ever seen was the sign next to a seafood shop that said "Got Crabs!".
Driving down the street, the sign appeared to be in front the bar next to the seafood shop.

In this instance, crabs. The seafood kind caught it Lake Pontchartrain. Not the smaller ones caught on Bourbon Street.

Interestingly, I never took any shop or art classes in school, besides what we did as children in grade school.
I did take a “basic machine practices” course one quarter in college using a lathe to help make a big “single point” bolt and matching nut, and a huge shaper to make some V-Blocks (I wish I had got to keep them🙁, I could use them occasionally now). I also took a very, very basic course in something like “manufacturing”? I don’t recall the actual name. In it we each made a dust pan (I remember one of my little brothers made one in Junior High shop class) not difficult, it took me something like 30-45 minutes, to make from scratch, if that. The other two projects were equally as simple. I wanted to take more advanced courses that would have included plastic injection molding, and sand casting metal, but I quit college before going further. I was originally working towards an Electrical Engineering degree, then decided to switch to Electrical & Electronic Engineering Technology. As it ended up, I lost the drive and bailed out completely….dumb, I know.
P. S. I still do my own taxes, but they are very basic, and I’m cheap🙂.

Re: Other Hobbies
I always wish I had taken courses like wood and metal shop when I was in high school rather than the majority of business classes I majored in. You would have thought I'd be grooming myself for a career as a businessman when the reality was once I'd completed high school I'd be off to the steel mills like a majority of my male classmates living in Gary Indiana.
Had I taken things like wood shop I might be more more handy around the house, or at least be able to build a table or bookcase. Or maybe carved a pipe or two.
And as for all those business courses - I still have to go to H&R Block to do my income taxes.
