Good analysis. I would be super happy if you (or some other woman, but especially a ("masculine") woman like you) would approach me in a party. :) Asking people for coffee is weird to us, unless it would be happening instantaneously (like at work). Overall, it's just difficult to meet new people.
I would say the issue is self-confidence. The culture doesn't really promote people "sticking out", and you don't really learn how to handle such things. American schools are much more into social interaction than schools in Scandinavia in general. So people find security in groups, which causes this phenomena. And I would claim Finland is worse than Sweden in this, even though it isn't uncommon here either. And while I agree that women and men can be friends, there is research done that shows some differences in genders here. For example: "Benefit or Burden? Attraction in Cross-Sex Friendship" by April Bleske-Rechek, Erin Somers, and Laura Ritchie.
As a Finn, also I find it strange that circles of friends mostly consist only one gender. The segregation starts already in the lowest classes of school. I'm nearly 50 years old and I see that this has changed better during the last two decades - friend circles are more mixed and diverse.
There's definitely a bro code of sorts in Finland too, but it's very limited and time sensitive. I have had this rule with my male roommate during our studies but that's it.

Hello Mikaela. I’ve watched a number of your videos in russian (yes, with a very small “r” considering russian aggression in Ukraine) and in English. However, I have yet to encounter any references to freedom from a point of view of someone who grew up in America and have spent considerable time living in Europe. I grew up in soviet Kiev and have lived in the US for a long time. My profound disagreement with the European mindset is individual’s personal background and family that often comes up as a factor. As you probably know, in America it matters not where you come from - it maters what you make of yourself (of course not all in America have that attitude, however there are plentiful examples in American history that point to such optimistic attitude). European “tolerance” and equality is not a product incentivized by individual freedom but rather by the public opinion that is often generated by media. I wonder if you have had experiences in Europe discussing freedom and what freedom meant to them, if at all.
@@igorpoltavskiy9599 The man/woman is simply a typical representative of the Khutor (village) mentality (Ukrainian). Note that being Ukrainian is not a nationality; it is a way of thinking and living. The ironic part is that he/she speaks about freedom while possessing a slave mentality-always ready to serve someone. In this case, I assume the main motivation and purpose of the post were to curry favor with the Americans: groveling before them, letting them know they are superior, and showing how eager he/she to serve and please them. Nothing more than that. The comment about the small "r" simply underscores that mentality.
