MALE STEREOTYPES The most common male stereotypes are that men are aggressive and violent. Most Western countries describe men as emotionally stable, assertive, independent and strong. These stereotypes are not true in most cases. It is said that men are more emotionally stable than women because they don't cry. I completely disagree with this. Sometimes crying can also be beneficial and is a sign of emotional strength. Men crying publicly has become socially unacceptable. If a man is very emotional, it is seen as a sign of weakness. Men and women experience the same levels of emotions, but women feel more comfortable expressing them. The stereotype that men are child molesters keeps them away from children. The newspapers are full of articles about child molesters. There are many people in society who are almost certain to come to the wrong conclusion. If a man interacts with an unknown child, others may watch and wonder. For some men, children make them uncomfortable. The stereotype has become so common that, in most cases, children are not encouraged to talk to men other than their fathers. It's a shame because men should absolutely interact with children. This is probably why girls do better in school and why less successful men go to graduate school and college these days. There is a growing gender gap in education, and the stereotype of men molesting children is a big part of it. Women are assumed to be more talkative than men. A famous stereotype holds that women speak tens of thousands of words a day, while men can only speak a few hundred. In fact, there is really no difference between the number of words spoken by women and those spoken by men. The company assumes that... in the center of the paper... the stench of sweaty clothes can be perceived from a long distance. And once she has perfume in her nostrils, a real woman can't stop until the problem is found, replaced and eliminated with a better perfume. Men, at the same time, can wear the same clothes for a week and will let the clothes pile up. In some cases, women are definitely better smellers than men. In fact, there are no real differences between female and male noses and the amount of receptors they have.REFERENCES• Zemore, Sarah E.; Fiske, Susan T.; Kim, Hyun-Jeong (2000).
