I've thought of some more. 
I fit: - I am a woman who is afraid of snakes and spiders.
- I grew up in Kentucky, don't like to wear shoes, and have lived in a house that had no indoor plumbing.
- As a woman I like to watch TV shows about fashion or interior design, while my husband would rather watch Cops or Ice Road Truckers or something else dripping with testosterone.
- I am a woman who prefers to wear dresses, likes makeup and jewelry, and keeps my hair long.
I don't fit: - I am a woman who is not afraid of mice.
- I am a mother who has never once wished my children were still babies.
- I grew up in Kentucky but I have never met anyone who owns a moonshine still, nor does anyone in my acquaintance work in a coal mine.
- As a woman over 40, I *still* keep my hair long, and have not cut it into some teased, layered, oversprayed helmet-head style. And no, long hair doesn't "drag my face down" or any other stereotypical thing people say about older women with long hair. My hair is healthy, not witchy.
- As a woman who enjoys interior decorating, I am not into anything pink, frilly, or lacy. I picked red and yellow as wall colors. And I call them red and yellow, not "cranberry" and "candlelight."
- I grew up Southern and don't worship Elvis. I don't dislike him either, but a lot of my family thinks I'm awful because I just don't care one way or the other.
