I have a bunch of hobbies, which range from female dominated to a solid mix of participants. However, for a hobby that has a good number of both men and women involved, there seems to be a gap in the participation and achievement levels in a way that mostly alings with gender. A friend of mine mentioned we would have to look at how men engage with hobbies.
Do you feel that the ways men and women engage with hobbies generally, but especially when they share the same hobby still differs?
Fair enough. Sometimes I wonder, though. For example I see a fair share of women in the indoor climbing centre. And most of them have more hand strength than me, at least relative to body weight, because I’m sitting infront of the computer half of the day 😅 And it’s certainly less fun for me until I do sone more work-out. I guess luckily, most of the hobbies aren’t all about physical strength but come with quite a substantial element of skill as well, or dexterity or intelligence.
