Oh yea, lots:

My wife has been in classes for sculpturing, drawing and painting, and often
the only male person in those classes was the teacher. Yet most
sculptures,and painters are male.

I have been in several fittness groups, where I was the only male person,
and in classes for translator/interpretor in German, Spanish and Italian,
and of 24 persons there were only three men.

Ciao
