The fact that bravery & strength are seen as ‘masculine’ traits, & being neurotic is seen as being a ‘feminine’ one. Indeed, I was watching a TV show about battle tanks recently, & the male presenter said that the Russians had women driving tanks. He went on to say something to the effect of how these women must’ve been strong, because driving the tanks is a ‘muscular commitment’. As much as I like the presenter, that comment still put my nose out of joint a bit- why is the idea of being strong & muscular when you’re female such an weird concept?

The fact that it’s assumed that only straight men like things like cars, motorbikes & the like, & shows & magazines about them have straight male presenters & writers who address their audiences accordingly.

The fact that the stereotype of the woman only being interested in a man because of the size of his wallet still exists, not to mention the notion of the man earning all the money & his female partner spending it all.
