    It’s a bit surprising to me that mowing the lawn is a male thing, my assumption is that it would be stereotyped to women because it is a maintenance task and for some reason women are stereotyped as the ones doing those.

    P.S. “stereotype” seems like the wrong word here but can’t think of anything better

      The old hand powered needed a lot of force, so maybe that’s why it mas “a man thing” in peoples minds. I have absolutely no idea if that is still the case today.
