• Guest, can you feel the love in the air? Valentine's Week at The Bell Tree has begun with a new mini-event featuring four activities to enjoy -- new and returning collectibles are up for grabs! Dive in to the love here.

Gender stereotypes.

Girls being over-dress-coded for "sexual clothing" because guys can't keep their willy from springing up. I mean, they're being dress-coded for simple things, like the kind of pants they wear. I mean, come on! Guys should have to follow similar dress code rules.

Yeah I didn't understand the exposed shoulder rule. I've never heard of someone going up to another person and say "wow, that's a fine shoulder."

YES THIS!
 
That I'm not smart enough to be in STEM or that I'm doing it for male attention. I will become an epidemiologist and I will laugh as I save your ass from the next epidemic.

Us girls weren't allowed to show a bra strap (even by accident) but guys were allowed to have their pants around their ankles with their underwear in plain sight.

Cut me a break.
 
All men know about cars.
All men know how to barbecue.

My mom's always been the one to barbecue, her boyfriends have always been lousy at it, and I've known a lot of guys who are clueless about cars.
 
Oh the driving one is annoying. As is the 'women can't park a car' one. Strangely don't know any male friends of mine who haven't had some sort of accident or speeding ticket/speed course. I find women are more safe overall so not sure where that stereotype comes from.

They come from men who think women can't do anything apart from cleaning and cooking. =/
 
I used to get called a boy and transgender just for wearing clothing perceived as "male clothing". I don't understand why people put genders on clothing to begin with.
 
"Men are messy slobs"
"Women can't protect themselves"

Also the whole 'boys can only like these things' and 'girls can only like these things' is so, so so dumb.

How women are seen as sluts if they have sex with a lot of guys but if a guy does the same with women it's all good. Wtf?

I hate how somepeople think men are supposed to be tough. But inside some of us are broken inside and can't be tough.

This. Adding onto this, it's dumb we can't cry, because crying is a natural response to pain, and yet we're expected not to cry when a giant volleyball smacks you head-on. Like, bruh, that stuff hurts.

Come live near DC and I can prove driving stereotypes about anybody being good wrong.

Everybody in the DC area is a **** driver. Everybody in the DC area needs to learn how to parallel park because apparently nobody knows how to do so.

They also need to learn how to not take 15 minutes to back in a parking spot.
 
Girls don't like/can't play/are bad at video games. And if they play, they only play visual novels and similar genres. While some people think that I am sitting here, enjoy my Overwatch goodness.
 
Adding on to the "boys are tough/boys shouldn't cry" discussion, that one actually really upsets me because that's why we have those boys who are so obnoxious with their "masculinity" that end up putting other guys down. They end up being just so aggressive in general, 'cause they've been told that showing any emotion or anything human at all makes them weak and "girly" (god forbid) so as a result you get men who yell and insult and punch and are terrifying to be around because it's the only way that's been deemed acceptable for them to express their feelings since birth.

Sorry I'm just really passionate about this I just want boys to know it's okay to have feelings, please don't turn into a mass of anger and faux-pride just because a good amount of the population thinks it's the only emotion men should have.
 
Men are cold-hearted.
Men are sex crazed.
Women are too emotional.
It's a dounle edged blade with stereotypes

I've always hated the stereotype that girls can't play video games, got me in so many awkward situations in the past! >~<
As for male stereotypes, the fact that apparently "men don't cry" is just so annoying, honestly crying is just a natural response to things! It isn't showing "weakness" it is showing that you have emotions and since when was showing emotions a gender-exclusive thing? Also the whole girls toys/boys toys thing is just silly. Kids can play with whatever they want! Of course some girls prefer the pretty pink Barbies and some boys prefer the rough blue action figures but who are we to judge if they want to play with something "designed" for the opposite gender? Of course these are just some pet peeves I have, nothing to get worked up about so if you disagree with something I said, just don't take it seriously! I'm not going to shove my opinion down your throat!
