I also posted this to Ask Lemmy, but I am interested in specifically other women’s perspectives as well.
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 aligns 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?
When it comes to Sport i’d say no. At least not in climbing bouldering. Well, there is a physical gap - man are in average still stronger. But Motivation wise, how hard people are willing to train, how much they push their boundaries and so on i would say i know many woman who get equally crazy about it as men. :D
Reading books is also the same i would say.
Playing instruments and singing: i also dont see a difference in gender.
