The most popular stereotypes about women

There is a list of the most popular stereotypes about girls, which are often completely unjustified.

Women are more successful in "female" occupations

This attitude has been following society since the days of Ancient Rus, when girls could neither work nor study. The reason for this was their gender. Absurd, isn't it? Only 70 thousand women out of 400 are engaged in, so to speak, “female” professions. The rest are successfully advancing in the fields of science, engineering, business and the like.

Girls cannot be leaders

I wonder what the people were basing on when they talked about it. A girl is no worse than a man can lead a department or her own team. Sometimes women are even more collected than men. The bottom line is that gender does not affect leadership qualities, it is just that many people think that a man can be more strict, but a woman cannot. But this is far from the case.

Women love children

Not all women want to get married and have kids as soon as possible, and then sit at home all their lives and complain about their offspring. In the modern world, many girls see the meaning of their lives not in children and family, but in their careers and self-development.

Women are weaker

More precisely, they tolerate physical pain worse. What about the fact that childbirth is considered one of the most painful ordeals in the world? There are now devices that simulate pain during childbirth. Several brave men decided to try what it is. They described that their muscles seemed to twist, their stomach ached terribly, the bones of the pelvis parted and the pain was simply unbearable.

Girls love cute things

We are talking about pink plush toys, hairpins, dresses and cats. It seemed that the world had already outlived this stereotype, but there is still an opinion that women should wear skirts and be nice. But this is not suitable for all the fair sex. And, at least, not everyone likes it.

Stereotypes have overtaken not only the fair sex, but also the male population of this world. Which of the many are the most popular?

K / f "Hercules"

A man must be strong

Unfortunately, or fortunately, not all guys can be emotionally and physically strong. This trait depends more on the character, upbringing and genetics of the young person, but definitely not on the fact that he has a Y chromosome.

Guys can't wear pink

Absurd and nothing more. If a man puts on something pink, then he automatically becomes feminine. It has long been worth moving away from the separation of colors by gender. Many young people are very happy with shades of pink and other "girly" colors. It is necessary to fight this stereotype.

"Male" professions

In the same way that a woman is despised for being in a “male” position, so a man is despised for choosing a “feminine” profession. By the way, there are many famous fashion designers and designers in the history of art. Hobby, however, like everything else, based on upbringing and a person's predisposition to something, and not on his gender.

Treason

There is a stereotype that without exception all men cheat, or some run after two girls at once. This opinion is reinforced by the film industry, which does not show a man from his best side. But, fortunately, not all men cheat, there are some very faithful ones among many.

A man is a breadwinner

This is the most common stereotype. This again comes from antiquity, when men had to go to work and women stay at home because they were considered unworthy of work or too undeveloped. Fortunately, in the modern world, many girls are against the idea of ​​only a man working in a family; they do not want to hang around his neck. A man should not be a breadwinner if he is not capable of it.

To our great regret, all these stereotypes about men and women will live in society for a long time until people with outdated views either, roughly speaking, will die out, or change their idea of ​​the modern world. Hobbies, style, work, behavior - all these factors depend directly on upbringing, human predispositions, health, interests, but not on gender. Gender determines only biological factors, opportunities, for example, a woman can give birth to a child, but a man cannot. But it does not in any way affect the character of the person himself.
