A peculiar story

A certain girl, always defying the gender stereotypes, is wearing a top hat and a very elegant suit while taking a walk through the neighborhood in the middle of the night. Suddenly some thieves appear out of nowhere and try to take her purse, but she pushes them away and throws away her coat, revealing a tight shirt and a pair of muscle-ridden arms. "So you wanna fight, huh?", she says, while a visible drop of sweat falls from the forehead of each of the thieves, who after hesitating for a while decide to just run away.

Generic concepts are not considered definite in English, unlike in the Romance languages ("los estereotipos de género" > gender stereotypes).

"Throw away" means to throw out, to throw into the rubbish, put rubbish in the rubbish bin.

This is more of a style correction than anything else.

Same as the previous correction.

Sorry, I thought I had deleted this correction. Don't pay attention to it, it's not entirely correct.

"Throws away" sounds a little like she's throwing it in the trash.

"-ridden" is usually used for bad things, like "disease-ridden". "Muscle-bound" is more neutral, or you could use other slang like "shredded."

"So you wanna fight, huh?

You don't need a comma after the quotes, since you already have the question mark.

This sentence is getting pretty long, so using fewer prepositional phrases makes it easier to follow.

Your English is very good! I don't see any real grammar mistakes, just a few spots where the word choice could sound more natural.

Thanks for the correction(s)! Yeah, I should definitely improve my word choice. In fact, I realized that I have been writing on my own for too long without getting any feedback, so it's only natural that I ended up using some strange words.

Do you guys think this sentence would be better left in past tense? I also agree in splitting this sentence up.
