Female Stereotype: Devious and Calculating.
I think I get labeled with this one because I shun most Social Media ("she hides from Social Media"), I'm quiet, I'm not always great at hiding my facial expressions (I think about something, doesn't even have to be something in the room, and it will show up on my face unless I consciously try to hide what I'm thinking), and I'm a writer. I think a lot of female writers are lumped into the "devious" pile because people fear we'll write about them.
To write is to be devious = "Burn her for a witch!"?
Female Stereotype: Sweetheart. Aww. I get labeled with this one too. Ah, but to always be expected to be a long-suffering Sweetheart is to not be allowed to be HUMAN. If one has the Sweetheart label attached to her, she must agree to everything, even the disagreeable and unjust, and she can never get angry. Sweetheart ladies do not get angry - they are ever-smiling.
What say you all?
