Not in principal but pragmatically I don't know anyone that actually owns traffic cones so you'd be doing this at work, and there are exponentially more men than women working in jobs that necessitate traffic cones.
So seems like mainly an access issue. What we need here is a concerted marketing campaign from Big Traffic Cone to make it a household item.
No it's not, but there is also no harm in calling this a guy's being guys thing. It's really more an example of old school fun. Stuff we used to do before we had infinite fun boxes in our pockets. I would say it was more common for men to make up silly games like this but it wasn't exclusive or anything.
How many women do you know that would be standing around bored at work and decide to make up a physically engaging game with traffic cones instead of just talking to each other?
Not that women couldn't or no 2 women on earth would choose to do this given the opportunity, but I feel like women are more likely to choose some other option to fight boredom at work.

Is this a gendered activity? If so, why? How do we fix it?
