MASCULINE STEREOTYPESThe most common male stereotypes are that men are aggressive and violent. Most Western countries portray men as emotionally stable, assertive, independent and strong. These stereotypes are not true in most cases. Men are said to be 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 in public have become socially unacceptable. If a man is very emotional, it is seen as a sign of weakness. Men and women feel the same levels of emotions, but women are more comfortable expressing them. The stereotype that men are child molesters alienates them from children. Newspapers are full of articles about child molesters. Many people in society are almost certain to draw incorrect conclusions. If a man interacts with an unfamiliar child, others may look at him and wonder. For some men, children make them uncomfortable. The stereotype has become so common that children are simply not encouraged to talk to men other than their fathers, in most cases. It's a shame because men should absolutely interact with children. This is probably why girls perform better academically in school and why lower quality men go to college and university today. There is a growing gender gap in education, and the stereotype that men are child molesters is a big part of it. It is assumed that women are more talkative than men. A famous stereotype claims that women speak tens of thousands of words a day, while men only manage to utter a few hundred. In fact, there really is no difference between the number of words spoken by women and those spoken by men. The company assumes that ...... middle of paper ...... loped it can detect the smell of sweaty clothes at long distances. And once she has the perfume in her nostrils, a real woman cannot stop until the problem has been found, replaced and eliminated with a better perfume. Men, simultaneously, can wear the same clothes for a week and will let the clothes pile up. In some cases, women are definitely better sniffers than men. In reality, there are no real differences between female and male noses and the amount of receptors they have.
