I fit the internet SJW stereotype to an uncomfortable degree, but I don’t really identify with it (which makes sense, given that it’s a shallow idea of a person designed by people who dislike them).

At the same time, I absolutely do not fulfill the stereotype of the American in Germany, and people are often very surprised when they hear that I am.

Do you fit or break a lot of stereotypes?

    Yes and No. I work in Science, an Engineering Departement, do like some good Metal or Rock and wear a lot of Caro Shirts. But I am also a woman, so that breaks the stereotype a bit.

    I am also really into books, cats and baking which somehow fits into some stereotypes about women.

    At the same time I like to lift, run long distances and do events like Mud-Masters (basically a muddy obstacle run). I guess this fits a bit more into the Engineering/Science thing, but not quite.

      I don’t know any women into cats, books, or baking.

      Stereotypical woman in my city is into traveling, hates pets/children, and doesn’t cook/bake. They eat out most meals or they get those mealbox services or they do ‘meal prep’ where they eat the same thing all week because cooking more than once a week is too ‘inefficient’.
