Woodturning appeals more to men than to women.

I don't see any social, physical or other impediment to woman turners. It may have to do with the male "tinkering gene". More men work on their cars than women. There is a recent surge in female motorcyclists, but whereas most male motorcyclists manitaing and tinker with their machines, most women riders don't - they just enjoy the ride.
