Another pattern is the children's team which organizes events for the large number of children. You guessed it, it is dominated by woman's energy. These behaviors are patterns which reflect a deep held familial training and societal conditioning. In some circles, they are socially shunned. In the minds of these women, this man was doing woman's work which made him odd.
Genders differences are good tools for social learning.
It is a fun and stretching exercise to spend a small amount of time looking at these things in a context of a community sharing circle. It is not necessarily bad to have gender roles, in fact, acknowledging them and appreciating them is in my experience a good thing. We have regular woman's circles here that provide support and encouragement for woman and their roles in the community and elsewhere. But we have no men's circle. These unconscious gender behaviors form one of dozens of invisible agreements that govern your lives as a community.
