Gnome like life in the modern world

See http://learntalents.blogspot.com/2018/09/gnomes-or-more-likelily-doing-things-in.html

17th of May 2020   I read a book called Year of the Gnome. I wrote a short comment about it, thinking that people somehow lose their own wisdom about gnome like life when reading a book about gnomes. As a subject gnomes seemed to break, which I guessed to be a consequence of there being a large demnand in the world for friendly tale figures.  So I translated the text to English and got stuck in the subject but in English especially.
Now there are three parts of the text, together some hundred screenfulls. It is advives in learning skills and talents plus lots of links which too are often worth reading.I termed it Tale like things in everyday life.
But writing the text ended at Mother's Day, so I guess that the text can also teach something about what kinds of skills women and girls often have, even though these are just my own - or were before I wrote about them to the internet.

Something about clothes

For men who follow rigid ways, looking even slightly woman like can cause problems, even though all people are something between traditional women and men, a wide spectrum. But if one would dress so as to not to care about such more than one oneself does, there would be much less problems of such. For practically or academically inclined a signel of not caring so much about rigid ways might be for example (a short distance) rolled sleeves of trousers of quite practicak style. And if the shirt would be fine in your opinion, kind of free time party like, would it tell your personal inclinations in a positive light.

Handiworks

I came to translate some of my knitting tips to English http://learntalents.blogspot.fi/2017/10/knitting-tips.html
My impression is that many men like knitting but on the other hand knitting makes one much more stupid. Here you can lean it though.

You can learn to sew clothes (with a sewing machine and enough sewing skills) without formulae, just according to your likings, with the advices of my text http://tunteetjatekemisentapa.blogspot.fi/2016/03/vaatteiden-ompelemisesta-ilman-kaavoja.html please scroll down the page to find the English translation there.

Finding a comfortable gender role

From my text about healthy natural ways of living http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html

"173. If one tries to live according to a more sexual reputation than what one feels right and natural for oneself, one easily feels agitated and tired since the relationships and life do not work out as well as they should. So if one wants to be more sexual with roughly all of the opposite sex to get social contacts work out well, the sex roles are good for that, but one should not take whatever role or the most recommended role but instead find the one that is most natural for oneself, gives best life, is something that you easily fall into on free time, something from which you find good life and nice things to do that just you happent olike, so that you are active and in a good mood with a good spirit and so in associating with people momentarily or going to shops and such, maybe one third of the opposite sex makes you think "Oh a woman" or "Oh a man" somehow handsomely, charmingly, pleasantly and you get well along.
On the other hand if you search for how you yourself would be very sexual and charming, then living Life with a big L, while searching for better life according to the rule "Live and let others live" (see this blog's text about it and it's link), maybe brings such in those circles which you like, to which you want to anchor your life. #

Men's role and women's role - Or?

Men often assume that women have some things easier than men and that that depends on women having women's role. On the other hand men assume that men ought to have men's role and so men all the time take care of following men's wole.
But that is not so. The womne who look like having women's role, have all the time taken care of many things that the men do not take care of. So what the men suppose to be women's role is those cultivated things, and those haven't been cultivated just a little and only lately, but for years like one's dream job's skills and the like. One can learn skills by practising. Some skills are very difficult and demand other skills as support and an eager interest in the subject itself instead of seeking for social position or other benefits from practising it. Womanly skills are often such.
On the other hand men keep to the men's role. But that is not men's role. That is instead being social with and sticking to the ways, values and ways of thinking of some group of men, of some people who live in a certain way, so it is wanting to belong to a group and taking always or often care of the groups characteristical things even when it means neglecting other things.

But like with different professions, women do not have always all men's skills even if they appear to have some more advanced quality or skill. Like with often advanced skills, some act them or copy them without proper idea or without proper quality in everything and try to assume the role of the most skilled ones without being moral and skilled enough.

Of women and men getting along

I think that the usua problem (in Finland) in women and men not getting along is that men tend to copy from other men ways of being with women and typically they copy from some man who is at least man like and and has done lots on women's things in man like ways. But different things ought to do in different ways. That is why different professions demand different talents and skills. Often those who do women's things in surely man like ways, which often is school like, are the men who are most distant from women's ways and values, since others would copy at least somewhat women like style, kind of fitting to the teasks at hand and to the atmosphere of doing such thi
The ways of doing women's thing are not found among those who do them most but among those who most like them, who most naturaly find it from themselves to do such. So they would correspond to learning new skills and talents on one's free time, like in my Finnish blog http://nopeaoppisuus.blogspot.fi in the beginning of the blog. And women like characteristics would come from the understanding of the value of noticing and taking into account atmospheres and feelings, see my Finnish blog http://pikakoulu.blogspot.fi , and enjoying for a change to get a chance to do also such, kind of to widen one's repertuaire of skills in use. Like maybe a man wearing a red shirt to get room for feelings and free time fun, would correspond to a woman wearing a non-worklike non-formal skirt.
What then would be the sides of men best closest to women? I guess that liking talking and being social, liking goiung to visit friends and having a cup of coffee with bread or the like. Liking children, time for everyday chores, music in the radio, having a pause for some repair work, talking with people of different areas of life, liking highlights, enjoying weathers, maybe travelling. Or? Kind of what men feel natural and nice but kind of in atmosphere and in some part of the content like women's ways and women's things done.
Women on the other hand would need room for sports without regard for looks, just for fun, like swimming, running, playing ball games, skiing etc. And for singing by oneself whole doing chores. Fro skill in making clothes that one likes for oneself, see in Finnish http://tunteetjatekemisentapa.blogspot.fi . Also some men's work like taking care of car and repair works with sturdy mivements and steady posture and some running steps in between.

Oh, and "Live and let orhers live!" of course solves problems iin who can affect what, see http://Finnsihskills.blogspot.fi in the beginning of the blog.

Endurancy or taking care of things

Boys are taught to reach for soldier's virtues. One of them is the ability to bear hardships. Girls are taught to take all into account and to take care that life in the society runs smoothly.
If one does something and gets disturbed by someone with something else to do, if one is doing things well, it is likely that one gets interrupted which is somewhat a burden, but if one does things sloppily and uses stupidity as an excuse, it is likely that one has plenty of time and one does not get disturbed at all. So reaching for endurancy often leads to sloppy, poor quality. While girls reaching for good quality leads to exhaustion and lack of freedom, which as a counter reaction lead to valuing feelings and taking others into account.

So cultural reasons like this can lead to big differencies in what women and men are like. But that does not mean that those reasons would not exist. No, the differencies exist, even if they for some part have a cultural and not necessarily biological background.

On the other hand, men sticking to more work like ways can on one hand be a consequence of poor quality leading to need of advices of others, and on the other hand it can be just a liking, a tendency to fit into another kind of role than women.

Since men like different kind of style, criterions, ways of doing, ways of being social and ways of living in the society and ways of living, men and women should not be considered alike. If some man wants woman like things, that is just hos personal opinion, not a reason to count him woman like, since he propably wants something very different from women. Likewise if some women like men's things, thye typically do it in different style, with a different level of skill and with different emphazies and different ways of living than men - and so they do not end up man like in their favourite job but choose something else instead: they naturally have the tendency to pick otherwise. And men too naturally have the tendency to pick a different style and different criterions with different levels of skills than women likewise saying that they are interested in the same kind of job.

On the other hand, let's look at this from what I learned the men's point of view to be like when I studied men's profession that my parents happened to like but which I felt no inclination toward.

The men did not like their studies, They said here we are, we cannot help it, we did not like the studies and the hard work, so we tried to get away to the wide world, but we got returned back by our female aquiantages, so it was of no use, now we are stuck here, look at that guy too: the same with him, just impossible and without any real reason this all, things just don't make sense.

So what was the problem? The men had a view that women are a group that has uniform opinions, kind of adding all women's views together without regard on who was like what. They mixed evil women's deeds with the society's moral expectations, so as some evil woman came bang bang get back to your slave like position, they took it as an opinion supported by the society which it was not. They did not go to the police. They did not go to the studies bureau to choose from tens or hundreds of groups of academical professions, of their courses open to all to which one can continue to major in if one just studies them. They did not go to the work office where free working places of all kinds of professions are available and where one can get information on studies of all professions. Those would have been the official road to change profession, not dependent on the opinions of aquiantages or relatives etc.
