What stereotypes about men bother you the most?

Question

Not that i believe most of them, but maybe it's that men shouldn't be alone with children in public due to incompetence or possible sexual deviancies. Maybe it's the thought that men are dangerous to women. Maybe it's something else? I'm sure there are probably multiple things that bother you, but what stands out the most?

Leaving this open to women to add their opinions as well, but I really wanna hear from the guys.

"The patriarchy"

Disagreeing with a woman doesn't automatically make us oppressors but people are too infatuated with labels these days for the ease of shutting down communication. Then the blame game continues on both sides and a lot more people these days prefer echo chambers over conversation. Just look at how a lot of the men vs women nonsense that gets posted here incessantly are worded.

Men being dangerous to women is not a stereotype, it's a statistical reality. As a man, it does bother me, simultaneously I find it wise, useful to not overlook this one, because I know it shapes my interpersonal relations with women. I know that, in many cases, and probably all cases when the context is romantic, I'm a suspect by default, because of my gender

When a man has his kid he's babysitting instead of he's being a parent drives me crazy

I gave nothing but indifference towards men/women stereotypes. Hell, sometimes they can work in your favor should someone truly believe in stereotypes.

On a different note, I have never heard that men should never be left alone with kids before. Between sports activities and summer/science camps alone I would think that this would greatly dispel that stereotype by a great margin.

Yea it’s irritating about stereotypes of us. Like we are all sex offenders, unreliable. Or the best one is.. we have to make 100k over more to be an ideal mate.

I know women don’t like stereotypes either but from here, some posted saying he has to make a lot of $ or else they wouldn’t consider dating him. Plus be pathetic and handsome. So tell that to the women that posted what they want with guys

That all we want from a girl we're interested in is SEX. If I feel a strong connection with a woman, I'll be willing to wait a couple weeks for sex. It's not like I'll lose interest if we don't jump in the sack the first night we meet.

Honestly, sexism. Having stereotypes about men to begin with.

Having the same genitals doesn't make me a rapist, doesn't make me violent, doesn't make me danger to society. I have way more in common with a nerdy gal compared to some alpha player chad type, yet I still get excluded from events or places through things like FLINTA*, just because I'm a man.

Zack-Bann · Answer

Just about all of them
I never once saw a stereotype about men that I felt was warranted or even remotely ok

Just because some dude somewhere did something doesn’t mean I need to be painted with that same brush. Ever.

And objectively speaking: a child would he safer with me than he would be with an army of women.
There’s nothing women can do for a child that I couldn’t do

HighlyQuestionable · Answer

All of the things you named in your intro!!!

"Men" are not dangerous to "Women", mainly because individuals interact with other individuals.

Secondly, when women can't tell the difference between an "average" guy and an "exceptional" one. I mean this literally. Many of the women that I meet seem to lack the capacity to judge character.

I'm a stay at home dad so I always hear all kinds of stuff. My wife's family on her mom's side are all miners or oil hands. When we visit them they look at me like I'm an alien.

Men don’t know how to change a diaper and a lot of other things, so they shouldn’t be left alone with children unless it’s their own child

Yeah, those two examples definitely bother me but I know a lot of guys are like that unfortunately so that is where that stereotype begins.

RavVid · Answer

There are quite a few such as you have mentioned; such as inclination to pedophilia to the degree that male teachers have been pushed out of the education system.

I am not bothered but really quite annoyed by all the feminist tropes.

What's wrong with a man staying alone with kids? Why not a woman who might be dangerous to kids 🤔

The two you listed are the big ones. It doesn't feel good knowing most people assume the worst of you. The rest are more slightly annoying than hurtful.
