lol no anyone can take one, loads of people do regardless of gender

The two people I do know who took one were both male

I've never heard of that before.
I don't think there's a particular gender divide in gap year take ups that I know of; I know just as many males as females who took one.
And even if there was a gender gap somewhere, that shouldn't let you stop you from taking a gap year if you think you'd benefit from it

Yeah, because gap years are gendered...

No.

Sorry, only women are allowed to take a gap year. If men could do it too then that would fuel the patriarchy and we seriously cannot allow that to happen.

Gent on a gap year here, i know more guys than girls who took one, all with deferred places for science courses

A gap year seems somewhat appealing to me, I'll be 18 soon and think it'll be quite fun to go and live and volunteer abroad such as on a farm. I've been looking online and there are thousands of places looking for volunteers.

Is it weird for a male to do this, most people who seem to go are females and do things such as teaching, etc? Some posts want females only.
