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?

..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....

..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...

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

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

i have these but this is the right idea

[T*]

men are more addicted to sex than females?

[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
