I think I have some traits that are statistically more widespread between women. Though I am not sure whether this is really a fact or whether these are just dumb prejudices.

I read statistically more women have the imposter syndrome and self-doubts. Following adjectvies are stereotypes about women at the least from the literature I read at college: more naive (yeah sometimes I am naive), emotional, calm, introverted, gentle and sensitive.

Many stereotypes on men don't fit at all in my case. Independent, strong (also physically), tendency to risky behavior, aggressive, atheletic (I am dying when I have to climb the stairs), self-confident (my ass the complete opposite).

However there are some male stereotypes that fit to me.

I only listed the stereotypes which don't fit at all in my case. I don't have any issue with these feminine traits. I think also men should be able to show emotions and being able to be soft. Such a rigid dichotomy is rather outdated. We all don't fit in one category perfectly. There is no need for that.

I am not sure whether the following is relevant at all. But I never ever had the slightest feeling of gender dysphoria. And I am glad about that because many people in this forum describe it as hell. I think the society is quite judgmental and I could not stand that pain.

What about you?

Any person can have any of those general traits in any combination. Gender roles are indeed prejudices.
