They're just making a generalization, which a lot of people do here. That's fine but some go too far and apply their generalizations to individuals. There are only two sexes but obviously people fall on a spectrum of personality traits with some more feminine and some more masculine regardless of sex. At the risk of sounding rude, you have those manly traits. It's not "weird" since there are plenty of women like that - just not the majority by nature.
Since individuals can vary so much I can respect gender roles but don't agree with limiting someone's position in life due to their sex, as long as we're not lowering standards to let women into men's roles. (we are and that's a problem)
No offense taken. There are a lot of great masculine/"manly" traits and I'm happy to have them.
And I agree 100% with your last point. I guess another "manly" trait I have is the want to be successful, or rightly fail, due to my own merits, not my sex. Any other treatment is condescending. Honestly the fact that's what modern feminists seem to want seems completely against the whole spirit of the original intent but I'm no expert on any of that.

Then you don’t really respect gender roles.
