They shouldn't be, but we are still transitioning out of segregated hobbies. And there are issues when say a knitting group of 60 year old women may be uncomfortable with a man joining. Or vice versa for a stereotypical male hobby.
Why would women be uncomfortable about a dude joining if it's not a gendered club? I haven't met knitters of any age who wouldn't be thrilled to talk wool weights and patterns with anyone. I'm a woman who's been in and taught a ton of art and craft groups, they've all been mixed in age and genders. Art is for everyone.
I agree, but we still have a generation that avoid men as they are a threat to vulnerable women, or seen as they don't belong.
I'm not if that era. My girls all know how to change tires, brakes and oil on their cars. Two of them capable of doing major auto work. And my son likes nail polish.
But my moms era is still highly focused on gendered activities.
