Where does the stigma of cat people being feminine, lazy and introverted come from exactly, and why people actually believe it's true?

I have cats and I love being outdoors. I hike in the mornings, I go to the gym in the evenings, and take part of a lot of sports. Honestly why people just assume I'm a certain way for being a cat person. I don't want a dog simply because they bark to much and it annoys the hell out of me. I don't feel as if I need protection so no need for that. Then I don't think you need a dog to feel masculine, sounds like an insecurity issue if you do.
