Anyone who puts it probably means well but it is a silly stereotype.
That being said, all the older female riders I know are more sedate like me or have a track bike and a day bike and are meticulous about maintenance. All the boys I know who ride don't take great care of their bikes and already have tickets and crashes under their belt.
But gender wouldn't sway me to or from buying a bike. I'd buy a bike because I know them as people who take care of things. My anecdotal experience is not the truth.
