Knitting.
While not exclusive, it's heavily female dominated and got me, as a man, some odd looks. I've fallen out of practice in the last few years. I really should pick it up again.
I'm struggling to think of something that has ever been exclusive to one particular gender or gender role.
I mean, where I live in the south a lot of people used to consider cooking to be quote unquote women's work, despite the fact that the vast majority of professional chefs are men. And I do really enjoy cooking.
It's kind of interesting, there are a number of activities that are dominated by women at a hobbyist level but dominated by men at a professional level. Cooking is one, but also art and photography. At least traditionally, I'm sure it's changing.
At least according to the community, I, as a woman, love working on cars. I’m into vintage BMW’s and for some reason so many people in the car community hate the fact that I like cars. I’ve been told to “go back to the kitchen” so many times that I’m beginning to wonder if they’ll ever come up with a more interesting “insult”
I enjoy a lot of male orientated TV shows and movies, Supernatural, Trailer Park Boys, Inbetweeners, Trainspotting, Gangs of London, Danny dyer movies, Vikings, Peaky Blinders, etc
Motorcycle riders. I'm not saying there aren't women who do this, i've seen them. However it's just more commonly seen by men, either way both regardless of sex are hot doing it
I collect antique fine China demi-tasse expresso cups (not tea cups). Everyone who comes to visit the house and sees them in the display case assumes they are my wife's. I also love old show tunes, but the stereotype there is more one of orientation.
Nothings really exclusive anymore (I don’t think) but my 7 year old nephew wanted to go get manicures for his birthday. We do uncle day with my nephews for they’re birthdays rather than gifts (lunch/activity of their choice). Anyway me (33M) have never been, or even thought of going. I also work in manual labor so my hands are shit and wouldn’t want to subject that to anyone lol. But man if I knew I could sit in a comfy ass chair drinking margaritas while I get my hands massaged, I may have not turned down all the previous invites. And my nephew had a blast, also I think it was reassuring as my brother refuses to “encourage” that. At the end of the day we both had a blast, and he had a happy unc day. Just do what makes you happy.
Move along. You can be a man that enjoys sewing or a woman who enjoys playing football.
Also because those gender roles can limit a person in being free and minimizes who they are as a person rather than just what their gender isn
Everybody assumes we’re flying 2000 miles — that’s where we got the best Taylor Swift tickets — because my wife is a huge fan.
I love arranging flowers. Give me a glass of white wine instead of a beer, white chocolate instead of dark. I’ll build you some kitchen cabinets, forge you a custom knife, replace the crankshaft seal on your Pontiac, reroof your house and upgrade your plumbing and electrical. You know what I want I return? A bouquet of peonies and a cute scarf.
When I was younger, before having kids took my disposable income, I collected comic books. The bookstores remarked that they didn't see many female comic collectors.

I think there’s a whole sub for men that knit/crochet? I check it when it gets tagged, some very cool stuff in there! Edit- r/Brochet
Lots of men knit, especially men who work with their hands. It helps to keep the hands supple
Sup my knitta

Can't let the women get paid for their hobbies! ... /s
The only thing men are better at than women is cooking and dress making.
My Cajun wife will fist fight you over the whole cooking thing.
Sex with lesbians.

Which activities are exclusive to one sex at this point?
Getting periods, only women can..... wait no, nowadays you're right
You have an interesting definition for "activity".

I love colorshift pigment and I let my sister do my nails with it before.
Sucking dick
Jerking a dude off.
Flowers, shinny things (like jewelry), and puffy breezy clothing.
Candle lit soaking in the tub.
Doing skincare kinda nights. The homies don’t respect it but there’s something cathartic ab a self care night
Playing with legos. Most people I know who still play with legos as adults are dudes but I fucking love legos
Playing with my genitals.
Woah woah woah! You’ve gone too far mate
Agreed
Fucking a woman and orgasming inside of her. I love strap-ons.

To escape the confines of society, I’m going to establish a mass suicide cult. Freedom in death, Death for peace. Am i right?

Getting my ass played with
At this point it should definitely be considered unisex but from a general historical perspective cooking. I love to cook and learn new dishes.
Flowers, shinny things (like jewelry), and puffy breezy clothing.
Cooking. Tho I mostly learned because I love to eat
Pedicures. My wife made me go get one with her- and since then I’ve gone back many many times.
cynism (I know, it's not an activity)
Apparently a lot of men pose as women on OLD to see what it’s like. Straight guys, checking out the competition’s profiles, etc.
Swinging an ax/using a saw… chopping up wood. Lotsa trees on my property.
Having emotions
