Generally not, since you hopefully have a father that shows you how to do manly shit. A young boy that grows up never having helped build, repair or destroy something is a boy living a missed life. He enters adulthood with no skills to give him an edge over others in almost any field of work he decides to enter. He will be a soft little bitch and get pushed around for life. We are not seeing the consequences of this yet since the whole notion is ridiculously young. In 25 years though you bet there's going to be a whole lot of sissy bitch boys that don't want to work the hard jobs.

What about girls who can do "manly" shit? Why apply arbitrary gender stereotypes to these characteristics? Some boys, who have manly fathers, just aren't into that stuff. And some girls are. Who gives a shit?

Ahh, here you are talking about the exception, not the rule. Yes there are examples where the desires of a person of one sex or another are against the 'norm'. Gender stereotypes exist because, well, they are stereotypical of a gender. We do not create stereotypes then force them upon people. The stereotypes were based on the actions of the gender they describe. I think that is a crucial point that SJW's miss. You don't say that a kangaroo is oppressed because they jump around and that a jumping kangaroo is a stereotype forced upon them by people. No, you understand that a kangaroo jumps around because that is what it is programmed to do. People are programmed differently, I think we can all agree on that. While one may enjoy something that is usually attributed to the other sex, that is an exception to the stereotype of that persons gender. If the genders were to over time cross this boundary more often then the stereotypes would have to change to suit that. Unfortunately though that isn't happening therefore our stereotypes aren't changing.

Don't get me started on 'forcing a gender upon people based on their sexual organs'. Gender is pretty clearly defined and has been more defined recently to include those that are not directly male or female.

Why apply arbitrary gender stereotypes to these characteristics?

Because the characteristics are stereotypical of a gender and are not arbitrary.
