Silly question of the day: in what ways do you break gender stereotypes?
I will start. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty. Plumbing, Electrical or Gardening. No problem. I just need Google, Youtube, coffee and red bull.
P.S. Yes I am straight.

I don’t wonder questions like this
I spent my career in tech and cyber security. If I’m not the only woman at work, I am the first.
Today i am the first woman in a leadership role in security in my current company and the highest ranking female manager in the department.
What’s with this weird P.S.?
Drillings holes in walls, digging, cleaning, repairing and painting walls…
Most of them. My husband can’t pick what’s for dinner to save his life. I’m the weakling when we get sick, and I’m always hot and he’s always cold. We joke about how we buck the stereotypes a lot.
I operate 20+ tonne machinery all day, use a chainsaw, and I can back with a trailer quite well.
Basically most of what I do breaks gender stereotypes, including my inability to cook 🤣
You can take my sport bike out of my cold, dead hands.
I think for myself.
I have a buzzcut and don’t shave my legs. Never got into make-up. Sure, can change my car tires. I know I kind of scream “lesbian” but I’m not. Sometimes I scream “man” during the winter when I wear a baggy coat that hides my boobs, because yes…multiple instances of being called “sir”.
Not complaining about other people’s misconceptions – I make enough of my own, I’m sure – I usually just find it to be funny in an ironic way.
Mostly by not being straight
