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?

I've found everything from "little to no difference" to "one room, two clubs" in this.

If there's room for any kind of competition, it leans to "one room, two clubs". If the hobby in question is more just appreciation or a need for some kind of joint work, it leans in the direction of low difference.
