Stereotypes

[Firewire]

For a presentation (yes another one) I'm asking the class about different stereotypes, but obviously I can't ask them until tomorrow when I'm presenting

Now I've made a list of my own but I think it's more authentic if I get real people's opinions on gender stereotypes.

Just a couple from each of you on male and female stereotypes.

Thanks x

[T*]

females have gooches

[Redway]

Are you asking for examples of gender stereotypes or people’s opinions on some of the common ones and what we think of them?

[Pete.]

Music preference stereotypes

[Firewire]

just words on what stereotypes of men and women are stereotyped as

so like

women - pink
men - blue

[T*]

men - strong
women- gentle?

[Firewire]

have those but that's what i'm looking for

if people are too embarrassed to suggest in case they offend the hierarchy then it's fine

[Babayaro.]

Don't do it. Apparently 'Run' 'I Kissed A Girl' and 'Bad Romance' aren't good enough for "favourite pop songs by female artists"

[Ashley.]

Quite an old-fashioned one (you might get extra brownie points for making historical points, too?)

Women - stay at home and look after the children
Men - go out to work and bring home the dollar

[T*]

men are more addicted to sex than females?

[Firewire]

Don't do it. Apparently 'Run' 'I Kissed A Girl' and 'Bad Romance' aren't good enough for "favourite pop songs by female artists"

honestly WHY ASK ME

Quite an old-fashioned one

Women - stay at home and look after the children
Men - go out to work and bring home the dollar

i have these but this is the right idea

[Babayaro.]

Men can do any job. Woman can not

[T*]

Men are less emotional or restrictive on what feelings they want to express

[Ashley.]

Males never treat females with respect whilst Females respect males too much.

[Babayaro.]

Women are regarded as better parents

[Ashley.]

Women are regarded as better parents

:nono:

[Mokka]

Women- cook and do dishes
Men- clean the gutters and protect from bad guys

Courteousy of LT a month or two ago in a gender role thread

Also

Women - wear makeup and dresses
Men - look best rough and tough

[Alf]

White men can't jump

[T*]

White men can't jump

thats race

[Alf]

All Dogs go to Heaven

[Ashley.]

Men aren't very bright and most will end up in manual labour. Females are intelligent and will do good in life.

[Babayaro.]

It isn't socially acceptable for men to drink their own breast milk. smh :idc:

[Dominic]

Surprised Ashley hasnt mentioned that men suck in general

[Kizzy]

pretty blonde women are 'dumb'

[Firewire]

thanks redway, i've added a lot of those ones

[Kizzy]

promiscuity? men being 'lads' girls being 'slags'

[Redway]

I guess there are both positive and negative gender stereotypes so I’ll try and list a few for each side.

Positives

Women - social, nurturing, pretty, tidy, caring
Men - logical, strong, stoic, protective, in charge

Negatives

Women - overly emotional, clingy, weak, high maintenance, gold diggers, hoes, **** drivers, and stereotypes according to hair color (ditzy blondes, evil redheads)
Men - cold, aggressive, controlling, impulsive, lazy, messy

I guess you could slip in the odd reference or two re. traditional gender roles (male breadwinner, female housewife) but that’s quite old hat and outdated so I don’t know if you’d entertain going down that route.

I dunno if that helps in any way.

[Babayaro.]

Men tend to have the bigger penis, I mean, what kind of sexism

[Firewire]

not true in your case

[Ashley.]

Women - overly emotional, clingy, weak, high maintenance, gold diggers, hoes, **** drivers, and even stereotypes according to hair color (ditzy blondes, evil redheads)

I'm quite partial to a slag.

I don't know why they have such a bad name.

Bring up the "women are better parents than men" thing please. It pees me of so much that people are saying it like it's a known fact. They were even talking about it on Loose Women one day that men shouldn't be allowed to have privileges to see their children if they are in jail, but women can. Even if they did the same crime.

Urgh. Men can be as good a parent, and in some cases, much better parents.

Others that you should bring up....

Women are weak. Men are strong.

Males are all chauvinistic and just want to have sex all the time.

Women shouldn't play sports

Men love Videogames and Women love shopping (when in some cases it can be opposite)

DIY jobs just for men

Men can't multi-task

Women cook and clean, men work for money.

[*mazedsalv**]

Also, men can't be raped or sexually abused.

Heard so many stories of police turning men away with this. Tragic.

just words on what stereotypes of men and women are stereotyped as

so like

women - pink
men - blue



Yes Pink
the Power of putting Girls
Below Boys

"Men can't multi-task"

No one can Multi task
you end up making errors

I can watch 5 TV's with Subtitles on
so I move my eyes over the subtitles
One has a Story I need
volume goes up on that one.

[jennyjuniper]

Women are better at multi tasking. Men are better at thinking about doing something.
Women have a cold, whilst men have flu.
Men are warmakers, whilst women are peacekeepers.

..I often find stereotypes interesting, things like blue/pink as you say...many parents have decorated their baby's bedroom in the 'stereotypical colour scheme'/blue for boys/pink for girls...so a conditioning thing..?..of associating that colour with security/warmth/safety etc, that some still feel through their adult lives..?..stereotype male/more aggressive and female/more nurturing/passive etc...and associated with 'typical childhood toys'..girls = prams/dolls etc/boys = toy weapons/trains/cars etc... a stereotype of females being the cook/chef of the house/'in the kitchen' more.../young girls sometimes being encouraged more to bake with mum/young boys not always so much...(..my OH is a great cook and he always cooked with his mum..)..

...obviously these are generalisations and I think applied 'back in the day' more..but I know from working in a school, they do still exist/the conditioning 'to be male'/and the conditioning 'to be female'...still sometimes a potentially added factor in making it hard for people to feel that they can be who they are because they have the added thing of breaking free of a conditioned stereotype...yeah interesting...


...good luck with your presentation today, Jonathan..:love:..

[Ammi]

..stereotype of males being the ones who barbecue/I'm quite happy with that one specifically because I'm not keen on the working of a barbecue...and the guys in my life seem to love doing them...especially when they have barbecue tongues that look like Jedi wands and light up etc...me Jedi steak knight...
