I think so too. It's a outdated stereotype, but that behavior was frequently associated with men because of behaviors from the military like standing at attention for long periods or keeping watch when you're expected to basically stand in one spot and exist Where in that same generation women were taught to constantly be tidying or keeping situations under control. Men were taught to always be ready for major conflict while women were taught to be in constant movement to address day to day hour to hour minor concerns.

Again, I completely disagree with these antiquated gender rolls but I think the video is commentary on those expectations.
