It makes a lot of sense from a psychology standpoint. Its socialization. That is the only reason we have these "gender specific" activities engraved in people's minds because we were taught that way.I know that I was taught different. That is why I think my dad's influence played such a big role is why I generally like things that are stereotypical male activities like watching horror films and playing video games.
