How clean is your living space usually, and how often do you clean it? Also: Do Men/Boys usually clean their living spaces less frequently than Women/Girls? Or is that steroeotype incorrect? (infosec.pub)

I don't know why, but I always have this mental image of people who identify as male/masculine to just have their living spaces look like a dumpster (okay maybe its a bit hyperbole, not a literal dumpster, but you know what I mean), while people who identify as female/feminine to be extra tidy? (Perhaps its mainstream media's portrayal affecting my subconscious?) Is this actually true?

Sorry if this sounds offensive, I don't mean it that way.

34m, live alone. My space is pretty much always tidy because of StumbleUpon haha. I once saw this random post and it said to always keep your hands busy when you’re going somewhere and it was super good advice. Stuff usually needs to be moved/thrown away/put away and doing it bit by bit when you are already moving around is not only less intimidating but also leaves you with a lil sense of accomplishment
