I abhor gender stereotyping.

Nearly everybody I know, both young and old, all gender stereotype. I think it's completely wrong.

For example, on another forum the other day, somebody said:
QUOTE
girls are freakin crazy. i had an ex stalk my new girl at her job and cause a scene. wtf why are girls so crazy & complicated?



So, because of one individual girl, you're going to make the assumption that all girls are crazy? Hell no! That's like saying men are all rapists because my sister was raped. If the girl was crazy, she was a crazy individual.

Everybody can be a little something (insert adjective here) at times, but that has nothing to do with our gender, race, nationality, age, and so on. It has to do with our personalities, nothing else. You are who you are, nothing less, nothing more. It's just wrong to make an assumption about a gender because of one person's actions or personality.

Any kind of stereotyping just annoys me. Gender, even racial stereotyping like you mentioned - people think all Asian people are smart and play the piano, which really bugs me (even though i'm pretty smart & play the piano...=P). i'm such a hypocrite, but i can't help it. but when people think ALL Asians do that, it's just annoying, yenno?
