Gender Stereotypes We Need To Get Rid Of (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

here's my opinions on this. feel free to disagree
1 i wear pink
2 i love sports
3 i am messy
4 i don't care who makes more as long as it doesn't become a contest. I'm still a man and i demand to be treated as an adult not a child regardless of who makes more
5 men dont gossip we talk shit
6 i wouldn't mind if a girl proposed but its definitely not the norm
7 i know a lot of girls who play video games and are better than me
8 men dont cry
9 women do like dresses and makeup

[txdiie_]

men don't cry?
women don't always like dresses and makeup

[Opinion Owner]

men dont cry in my opinion if you're a man and you cry and its not because someone died or you have depression or any other mental disorder that makes you sad for extended periods (which i do) you a bitch. and if you do cry don't let nobody see you because they will lose respect for you because most people veiw this as i do at least where I'm from.
and women do like dresses and makeup that is true. i know its not true of all women but it is true

[Whatthefluff]

Very true, thank you. My dad is the biggest gossiper I know, and my brother's favorite color is pink.

[txdiie_]

lmao #exposed

[Whatthefluff]

Haha

[Molkabz]

It's true. Best mytake ever! My room is like a horror movie basement. I like blue and i hate most dresses and rarely use makeup. I got really p*ssed off when one of my guy friends got injured at PE and was on the verge of tears but the guys kept bullying him and making fun of him about it.. it's sad what we've come to.

I don't think there's anything wrong with associations, the only problem is when people are very strict about them and persecute you for not following their rules. Having a norm is fine as along as we can also accept the outliers. Mandating the norm, or mandating that we dissolve norms for that matter is not okay.

[Douma]

Are your parents crying now. Just curious or proud of you?

[txdiie_]

lol no.

[keenmind2007]

Agreed, but the stereotypes came about through our actions when girls became shy and defenseless and boys assertive and brave. Until there is a major pattern break, we can say bye-bye to anti- stereotypes.

[moonyshiner]

What is a boy? what is a girl? we are both equals we were created for the same purpose. We can be whoever we wanna be and we can do whatever we wanna do. Nothing can limit us.

[StayInYourLane]

Nope we are not equal nor were we created for the same purpose. Women have their place. Stay in your lane!

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@StayInYourLane Oh the weak minded weaker man. How peculiar. You see young boy, the superior ones in the world are ones that don't care so much for look, gender, etc, but for potential and how far they actually go. If a man can both take care of kids AND be a soldier and his wife can do the same, they are FAR superior than a man who can ONLY be a soldier and a wife that can ONLY take care of kids, but not vice versa.

[moonyshiner]

@StayInYourLane really? I wonder where is that lane cause I can't see it in my life 😂😂😂

In my personal case sports were an outlet for me because I was dirt poor growing up so jump toping & doing road work & learning self defense was all I had growing g up so I look at sports more from a serious point of view & technical unlike most guys who just see sports for it's savagery

Personally imho I like to keep everything in place & hate having a messy environment because it's builds a bad habit to be messy in other areas

[Shadow44]

I'm a man who's not messy and isn't a big fan of sports. I don't like sports but wouldn't say I hate them. I don't follow sports and don't really like watching them.

[Onlythisone]

The gossip thing is definitely not a girls thing... I thought switching from an all female office to an all male facilities team would have less gossip but god it's like highschool all over again.

[NewYear-NewMe]

Good list, but I would add one thing. Girls can't ask a guy out or initiate a conversation with their crush.

[txdiie_]

oh yeah those too

[DaniaMQ]

I agree to all of what you've mentioned :) one of the top ones I dislike s the "men don't cry" one. That's just bs. XD

[Gedaria]

I can see your point,, but being transgender I still like the differences the sexs bring. Imagine a guy in a dress all the make up cannot come close to a lass in the same situation. I love the difference !!!

[Unit1]

Great short article :)
Let me add one more thing to it:

10. Men's success is determined by his salary, assets and properties

[leobaby]

I couldn't agree more! Everybody saying that these are just speculations, know hey are full of BS. I'm way over stereotypes, let individuals create their own legacies. But that could just be me, everybody calls me the modern day flower child. :)

[love_conquers_lust]

Why is it "needed"? Would it be more succinct to say you "want it"? I classify wants and needs based on necessity to survival. None of these things meet that criteria.

[BuchitaBuchys]

Or "men shouldn't show emotion, that's for girls/babies/fags"

[Prof_Don]

I'm a substitute teacher for teens, and I wear pink ALL the time at work in some way or another. My students (grades 7-12) dig it so much. :-D

I agree with you on all of these. There is no biological basis for any of these stereotypes.
