Very relevant to my recent books, in which I depict a group of people starting a transition away from work being strongly segregated by gender.

Two perspectives on not conforming to gender roles:
“What I find most challenging — and something I often address in the female carpentry classes I teach — is that you feel a lot of pressure not to screw up, especially in a job that requires a lot of physicality. It’s as though your entire gender’s reputation rests on your shoulders every time you try something new.”
