There are so many stereotypes about women that I know are complete and utter BS. And they aren’t all used by men, either. There are so many put out there as fact or implied to be innate knowledge, and a lot of it comes from the culture you live in. Religion, social customs, magazines, TV shows, population, they all contribute to these blanket generalizations that women have been trying to buck since Abigail Adams was asking her husband not to “forget us” in the new American nation. And let’s face it, since before then, too. Here are 12 stereotypes that piss women off and every one of them came from one of you, Ladies!

FULLSCREEN

    • Ladies, you’re not subservient or inferior, quite the opposite in fact, because you’ve had to put up with so much of this belittling crap, you are, as far as this Dude is concerned, the dominant gender.

      While I had a good time reading this, the 12th statement is working off a stereotype while it's trying to take another one down. Culture may perceive Christianity this way, especially with some vocal extra conservative groups, but the theological concept that women are at the root of original sin is just that- a concept. It's not at the root of the religion as a whole, and a large chunk of denominations don't agree with the concept. Frankly, the stereotype of religion as being archaic/inherently wrong is also harmful. Let's just try our best to not stereotype anyone or anything.

      Sorry to be this person, but my hot theology degree wouldn't let me walk away without saying something.

      Loved that you chose a picture of Sansa…
      Anyway, I had an argue with a group of boys: one where a jerk and the rest where being pushovers, and because I couldn't stand it and therefore stood up to the problem – now I was a Bitch…
      but then again they got the stereotype of being men with no balls.

      I forgot to add that in the angry Black woman spteeoryte also means Black women are likely to get physically assaulted and sexually assaulted because of that spteeoryte or FEAR being sexually and physically assaulted, because it is assumed we should be tough and take it .because when someone responds to you according to their stereotyping, you are afraid they will also put their hands on you to hurt you and that other witnesses won’t step in to protect you if you are attacked.Or at least I have had that fear in different situations in life.Stereotyping can lead to lack of compassion and can lead to a person doubting the creditability of another person if they are in pain in a medical crisis. Both my sister and I have had experiences of being in extreme physical pain in a hospital emergency and denied pain medicine because it was assumed we were drug addicts faking our pain to get narcotics. My sister was also assumed to have STDs for which she tested negative for. 2 different hospital incidents at 2 different hospitals at 2 different times. My sister was months later diagnosed with gallstones. And months later it was discovered by a different doctor at a different hospital I had a severly twisted ovary that went undiagnosed for who knows how long. I wasn’t given the immediate ultrasound and I was in too much pain to advocate for myself. My old health insurance tried to refuse coverage for my trip to the emergency room for the twisted ovary that wasn’t diagnosed until months later. Their reason was a nurse thought I was faking being in pain to get narcotics. When my husband and I made a fuss about this, the health insurance company decided to cover the cost of my trip to the ER after all.
