Masculinity is more TOUGH take over nature and go CAMPING LUMBERJACKS and you can’t really enjoy nature unless you go and SURVIVE
Nature is also tied with femininity but more caring? Mother Nature and all that

Since women stayed home often in the past, they have more of an attachment to nature than men, so when that gets address maybe the issues within nature will be resolved

Many of the ideas and activities involving nature have been tailored to men, discouraging or restricting many who do not identify as male.

When I find the man who made dinosaurs a male gender thing I will break all 206 bones in his body. Then. I'm gonna put him in a body cast and wait for him to heal. So I can break all his bones AGAIN.

also since being outside and hiking and all that is seen as a more masculine thing I think it means less gorls are gonna want to go outside and actively try to hike and what not

Because while gender roles can be harmful the concept of gender can still be helpful to some people. Depending on your identity whether you are cis or not effects the way you interact with everything. If you are on the trans spectrum there is also very few places that you may feel safe, which leads to queer people spending a lot more time alone outside. If you are cis you most likely feel relatively comfortable anywhere so you don't have to go outside to have fun.

People have different relationships to the outdoors based on how they are perceived and raised. Emotional attachments to nature vary based on memories from childhood.

There is a slight psychological difference between men and women interact with the world. The roles may have been formed a while ago due to the fact that women could not hunt all the time if they were pregnant/ other motherly things. So they stayed back, where we went wrong was when that was no longer necessary to have a difference in roles, it simply turned into sexism.

One gender tends to be more attracted to certain things within nature. For example females tend to be more attracted to the flowers, birds and bees, etc. While males are more interested in like the strength aspect, such as bears and lumberjacks

The roles for gender usually set up what activities people typically do, for example, if someone is more masculine they might do activities that reflect that, like rock climbing.
