Definitely not. I have some "stereotypically female" traits, but I would say I have more traits attributed to men. Several tests I have made e.g. those determining the gender of one's brain, tend to give similar results.

I have trouble figuring out why so many people find being womanly so degrading. I think it's sad.

@cassie I suppose the gender stereotypes play a huge part in it. Stereotypical female traits are often associated with weakness, dependence or submissiveness, which are not desireable. Secondly, women are notoriously diminished in the media. Moreover, you asked whether we consider ourselves to be stereotypical females and such is the nature of stereotypes that more often than not they are degrading and offensive. It's hardly surprising that some wouldn't want to be stereotypical in any way.

I cannot tell you why people find feminity degrading, I can only tell you what I don't like about stereotypical female traits and which ones I do not have.

Before I forget, it is an interesting poll, one of the few stimulating a conversation. ;)

Can't cook, can never finish chores, I don't put a lot of effort into the way I look, and I'm only a little bit girly. (When it comes to cute shirts and patterns.)

ArcticWolf picked Sort of/Partially:
I'm extremely submissive unless I know someone very well, I love Asian dramas, I don't like confrontations, I love feminine clothing, I find the idea of being a stay-at-home wife/mother appealing, pink is one of my favorite colors, I don't ever want short hair, I have a very strong maternal instinct towards animals, I prefer soft and furry animals so I can cuddle with them, I want kids, and I love me my ships. XD

However, I don't cook, I am quite sarcastic and mean/aggressive towards people when I get to know them (playfully, of course, but I still accidentally hurt people), I love metal and its subgenres, I am comfortable in lazy clothing, I love being active, I love horror, I'm bad with kids, and I don't like extremely feminine/cutesy-type shows - I need testosterone in my story, dammit!

I'm definitely more feminine than androgynous, though.
