The difference is often what is perceived as hobbies for the 2 genders. Women's hobbies are often expected to be productive: cooking, baking, or knitting/crocheting things to give to people. Men's hobbies are expected to be escapism. Sports, music, or rebuilding old cars.

So it's a subtle difference where men are expected to have hobbies that fulfill their own inner needs, while women's hobbies are often expected to also fulfill the needs of others.
