I have never read or heard one.

Any NB woman I've met is basically a tomboy with a bob or pixie haircut who is into science, tech, math, or dinosaurs. I work with a man who identifies as NB; he's essentially a gay man who likes to bake and paint his nails.

I'm a muscular woman with a math degree who likes dinosaurs, science and to bake and paint my nails. I am not special; I'm still a woman. It's called having interests and a personality.

In a certain way, this NB bullshit is the modern fruit of plain old sexism: men are good in maths, logic and leadership and women are good in cooking and caretaking. If you fall outside the rule, you're a freak and should be aligned.

Also a woman who absolutely loves dinosaurs and I have no idea how the fuck it ever became a 'man' thing. It's literally rocks and fossils. How the fuck does that have a gender stereotype? On a side note this year they found a almost complete tail for a Spinosaurus! They had essentially a newt tail which gives us a good look into what their daily life would have been like (methods of locomotion and mostly aquatic).
