These are the female stereotypes I could do without

Don't get me wrong, I love being a woman. I think women are wonderful creatures and I am happy to be surrounded by them and one of them.
There are however, some female stereotypes I could do without. The kind that put pressure on you to be a specific kind of woman, an ideal woman, the best kind of woman.
One thing I cannot bare is that because I'm a woman I have to look cute all the time and smell like a rose while our male counterparts smell like a field and wash their balls once a month. Sometimes, I don't want to wash my hair every week, sometimes I will pick that popcorn out of my bra and eat is and yes, sometimes the hair under my arm will grow and I will shrug it off and leave it for maybe even two more days.
Another age old annoyance is the 'are you on your period?' question that seems to spew out of peoples mouths like word vomit anytime you roll your eyes or snap. I once rejected a guy and his response was 'you on your reds?' Please, never refer to it as 'reds'. Also, maybe I'm in a mood because I'm hungry or tired and maybe just maybe the rejection was due to my disinterest in you and your horrible dress sense. And before any of you reading this ask - no, I am not on my 'reds'.
Similarly, I do not wish to be placed under banner of psycho just because I'm a needy person and expect a text back in 0.2 seconds. Also, if I'm browsing Facebook and suddenly end up on your ex-girlfriends, mothers, cousins profile - that's the mere joy of technology. That is not unreasonable.
