What stereotypes are you breaking?

Scroll to see replies

I think I break every single gender stereotype. I'm female and am not into cooking, make up, dresses or high heels. I'm not caring and am very laid back about matters. People are surprised how strong I am, how many pull ups I can do, how many kick ups I can do with a ball and how well I can climb. I'm very bad at multitasking too and can only focus on one thing at a time, people often say to me 'I thought women could multitask'. I also have the mannerisms of a lad apparently. No I'm not a lesbien despite all this, Ive broken that stereotype too.
I come from a vv conservative Muslim family and my main interests include watching gay men dress up in drag, sashay down catwalks while *****ing about each other's boob contouring


(RuPaul's Drag Race in case anyone's interested; definitely recommend)
All people with Asperger's are good at maths - I'm terrible at it! :tongue:

You've pretty much mentioned every French stereotype I can think of :rofl:


I thought of more as well :colone:

- I don't smoke
- I'm not a mysterious, passionate lover *cries*
- I do shave.
I'm a 20 year old university student and I voted for Brexit.
I'm Latina and I can't dance :ahee:

Oh, and I can't eat any form of spicy food without tears streaming down my face.

Me too :lol: friends used to constantly ask me to tune instruments for them because my ears are sharper than their little electric tuner things. I can tell if something's out of tune, even if it's just by a couple of Hertz.

Erm. There's a few for me though..

I'm a writer, but I'm badly dyslexic.

I'm a computer nerd, but I really ****ing hate computers.

I'm good at maths, but awful with numbers.

I'm a nerd in general, but I like some modern music (which apparently we aren't supposed to... :lolwut: ).

I'm an Asperger but I'm perceptive and empathic and can get along with people.

I'm not a hipster, but I have a collection of LPs and tapes.


Just off the top of my head :h:


Same here apart from being dyslexic and hating computers.
I'm bisexual but not that promiscuous,
Ginger and not angry all the time or wild or promiscuous (again)
Religious but I don't ever talk about it (none of that shoving it down peoples throats nonsense)
I'm an art student but I don't take xanax and wear hareem pants
I'm welsh and I don't shag sheep
I'm white and mayo makes me feel ill
I left home at 17, but not because my family is poor or because my parents are abusive
I'm only five foot tall but I don't have a napoleon complex about it or wear heels all the time to compensate
Do anal, don't own a choker
