I don't hate any, infact I think most stereotypes when it comes down to gender are right or justified.

I hold doors open for both genders, but more so women.
I offer to help women in a shop if they can't reach something.
I talk differently to women I don't know and not as 'harshly'.
I would expect (and it is true) women to be more emotionally fragile than men.
I would buy a girl a doll or something girly because that's what most of them want.

Does this make me a sexist, patriarchal (and whatever other words they've come up with) pig by tumblr standards? Who cares, it's tumblr and not the real world.

In my experience, this has never been the case and has always confused me. Granted, my experience may be classed as limited, but I've seen plenty more boys play with dolls accompanying action figures than girls actually wanting dolls. I always feel that girls did more hands on things, they can still be classed as girly, with hair accessories and stuff, but the doll thing has always confused me.

I don't like how men are still stereotyped as a gender with a higher intellect.

Pretty much all of them since they're outdated and unnecessary in advanced society and only lead to problems. They're mostly based on how humans had to function as a hunter-gatherer species (generally giving protective status to women in return for less personal responsibilities/agency and giving more authoritative power to men in return for drastically lowered protection) and have absolutely no place in a world where we don't rely on laying down your life to save the birthgivers in order to keep the species going. There are of course biological generalisations that one can make like saying men tend to have greater muscle mass than women, and whilst not actually having more emotions or anything silly like that women are proven to have an evolutionary predisposition to display them more (as well as the societal right to) but these should not be grounds for any legislative or social codes. It's entirely baseless and also very lazy

That men should be fearless of everything and anything, such as spiders, but for whatever reason it's fine for women.

Or preparation for the real world outside of school, the house of mummy + daddy and tumblr?

You must live in a really terrible "real world" if showing emotion is gonna get you killed or something, and if it's somehow *+*reality*+* then why would it only apply to half of people

Everyone seems to believe i'm a super strong hunk with beautiful black hair that cuts down trees & kills bears with my bare hands in my spare time. That isn't the case, i don't have black hair, i have brown hair.


I also hate when people think i'm very knowledgeable when it comes to fixing appliances around the house, i'm not.

Inseriousity.

I hate the whole "man flu" thing so much! You could be genuinely sick and a lot of women and tbh other men are just like "You just have man flu" and it's like no..
