Do you have a hobby that's stereotypically seen as for the opposite gender?

    Depends... if you mean how everyone views me, I.E. as a male, then not really, apart from a more secret interest to start ballet and bellydance.

    But, if you mean from me as a much more female person, then bass guitar, metal music, boxing, gym etc. are generally a lot more masculine than feminine. And so what?!

    I dunno if having and buying plushies is a girl or still a kids only thing, someone mayby tell me?

    And i guess liking and wanting to have a ball jointed doll (asian doll model) is more for girls o_0??

    It's weird to see the gender category still present and clearly separated in toy stores,
    even when they stopped using pink and blue for some years now (exept for toysRus).
    I through that Scandinavia want more gender equality for kids too.

    for me, I have a jewelry business.
    I make things like wire wrapped pendants, wire rings, bracelets, necklaces, wine charms, and earrings.

    I do this thing called school of Rock, although I feel like women are becoming more prevalent in the rock scene. I love hockey and sports in general. I like playing video games

    Depends on how liberal you are. Some people view rock, video games, and low brass instruments as "male", but those people are usually adults. Most kids don't view them as "male" though

    I'm kind of interested in perfume-making. I like to remember that the only difference between perfume and cologne is the concentration of oils and the fragility of the male ego. I also keep a lot of houseplants but most of them don't flower so I don't know if that's stereotypically feminine.
    As for hobbies seen by others as the opposite gender (since most people see me as a girl), video games, RPGs, drumming, and formerly martial arts.

    Video games. I get a lot of shit that I am not good enough but in Call Of Duty I have a 3.81 k/d and I have shown guys that there are females out there that can beat their asses and then they shut up. I believe it is some sort of insecurity some guys have that they are superior because it is a male dominated hobby/community. But I do have a lot of guy friends and also girls can be harsh and rude to other females. But I mean it is not a constant thing you run into. Although there are a ton of females in the community but society believes only 12 year old boys play video games.

    If I was actually skilled in anyway I would so have woodworking as a hobby. I love wood but I don't have the artistry required.

    Thankfully this is changing but...I really can't believe people still think the demographic for gamers hasn't changed since 1985

    I generally love sports, but maybe the most masculine thing that I do is that I lift, even though I'm a 123 lb woman.

    I love superhero movies and shows. Whenever I find my self stuck somewhere with only a bunch of guys my own age we can usually have a discussion about the many many inconsistencies in the x-men movies we are just supposed to ignore. I also ignore fashion, like my brothers clothes more than my own and I don't own even one make up product. The one and only time I wore a face full of make up was for the Irish version of a prom. And I hated it.
     
  14. Would gaming be one? Or cooking?

    I didn't know to handle my guardians grief cuz of my plushies.
    Why do some adults asks us at legal of age this:
    "Aren't you too old for that."
    "You're a Boy/Girl, don't play with/buy that stuff."?
    Are they trying to make us ashamed so whe,
    even if we are adults, don't buy things we like?

    I love photography, particularly darkroom photography, which I guess is often seen as something mostly geeky males do :eyeglasses::slight_smile:
