Do you have hobbies or interests that you yourself would happily consider girly / feminine?
2. ... manly / masculine?
3. ... neither of those things?
For me, some that come to mind
1 Drag shows! Drag imagery and shows I see are mostly femme but also drag kings or drag that plays with our perception of gender and celebrates gender diversity.
2 I like men.
️
That's as manly as it gets.
3 Art, camping, movies and theater, video games, card games, board games, ttrpg's, event organizing, education, activism... mmm pretty much all of my interests that I can think of on the spot don't really remind me of any specific gender.Nov 18, 2023

I like drag too! I recently joined a drag club at my college and I’m hoping to start performing eventually! I think I’m mostly into girly things, like drawing, dancing, and dressing up. I also keep a diary which I think could be considered girly

•liking fashion and makeup is feminine apparently
dunno why the haters (cough insecure men) are so against taking care of themselves and looking nice.
legos + building/repairing is like pretty "masc". i am the one building all of the ikea furniture. it's very fun
figure skating is "femme" i guess, but i've always slightly preferred watching men's fs over women's fs.

Idk. My only hobbies are drawing, writing, listening to music and playing video games.
Video games were considered boyish when I was little, but it's much more genderless nowadays. As for my other hobbies, I don't think those are considered any gendered. I don't like gendering stuff anyway. It's pointless anyway

- Reading books is considered quite feminine in my culture (women read more than men, especially among teens and young people). I like taking care of my hair, and even trying some hairstyles from the 1940s. Feminism is considered extremily feminine even if not in the traditional way, it's "the thing women refusing traditional femininity do". I'd say that all ideas against social prejudices are more common among women than men. I like dancing.
- Reading comics is condidered masculine (once at a comic fair stand I asked if they had something by Hugo Pratt and the seller went: "you read Pratt?! But you're a girl!"). I like playing football (the European one with spherical ball) a lot, and I'm quite good at it. I draw comics and I learn from YouTube and the Internet, which are quite male-dominated. Recently I've become curious about programming sites and games (but I can't really do it). I like board games, especially the German types (not party games, but very logical ones with low impact of chances, you mostly have several moves you can do and you have to choose the best combination), which are also played most often by men. I am doing a bit if exercise, which should be not gendered, but I do it to develop muscles and strenght, like men, while women usually do it to stay fit and grow their butt. I watch Formula1 car races.
- The films (mostly animated) and the music (any genre except rock and metal, especially if the music has good quality or is a bit experimental, and if it has a rather quick rhythm) I like are not gendered (well it depends: songs by female singers are often considered for women, but not always). I like communism. I like walking.

I love to bake and cook, and I love to wear floral clothes. I've been told I'm quite feminine, but I have to admit, I never think about it much, nor do I really associate cooking with femininity, heheh
•
•I dont know if you could categorize cooking as feminine or repairing things as masculine but i like both of them ig
•
•Personally I don't associate any hobby or interest with a gender, as gendering things for people to enjoy is pointless to me lol
•
•I used to be into calligraphy, which in my mind is kinda girly
I mean I've never seen a dude calligrapher on Instagram so??
I also like reading which is definitely neutral
