      Huh. Is there a female-coded equivalent to male prepper type skills? Like something that tends to be practiced primarily by women that’s only actually really useful under conditions that don’t exist in society today for most people? (Compare: Hunting, wilderness survival, etc)

      The "primitive skills" thing might count? Apparently there are lots of women who do it (or so @Lacigolana tells me).

      Primitive skills (also called Earthskills) is pretty gender-neutral! I would say that there's roughly equal numbers of men and women at gatherings, and that they tend to approach the skills in fairly similar ways.

      A few of the skills do tend to skew towards one gender (I think I know more men who hunt, and more women who do fiber arts), but for the most part, the community is extremely gender egalitarian.

      The philosophy seems to be: all of these skills are useful, so if somebody wants to learn them, that's great! We want to welcome anyone who wants to learn a skill, no matter what their gender is.

      And really, most of the skills are not gender skewed at all. I know lots of male *and* female hide tanners, and lots of male and female woodworkers. People of all genders are into gardening, food preservation, raising animals, butchering their own meat, etc.

      Most people in the community would probably describe themselves as feminists (but these are people who avoid TV, and spend more time outdoors than on the internet, so their feminism does not look like 2020 internet feminism).

      However, this doesn't mean that Earthskills people ignore gender, or treat men and women as interchangeable or "basically the same".

      From what I've seen, the Earthskills people implicitly embrace a philosophy of embodiment. We're not just free-floating minds that happen to have gotten stuck in particular bodies. We *are* our bodies, just as much as we are our minds.

      As a result, there's lots of emphasis on the fact that male and female bodies are different and play different roles in the cycle of life. Not in a normative way; it's just sort of taken for granted that childbearing sets women apart from men, and that this is natural and good.

          There's plenty of celebration of the female reproductive cycle and mystery of procreation in general, and there's women's meetups and women's spaces and a "red tent", etc. But it's all rooted in physical differences, with what feels like fairly little social construction on top.

          (Thread finished. This was mainly for @polyaletheia's benefit, since I don't have an answer to @liminal_warmth's question.)
