Men Stereotypes?

"Deadbeat Dad"

"Crazy Homeless Guy"

"Neckbeard basement dweller" / "Loser Virgin"

"The pedophile"

There's lots, you only have to look at who our media/society hates the most, guaranteed you'll find a 1 dimensional caricature of a man.

"All men want is sex." Total bullcrap, we also want food.

Well, poetically, that could be one right there.

(Edit: Probably not a big one right now, but it might become such in the future.)

Other gender stereotypes that inaccurately try to describe all men are:

All men enjoy working on cars Men are not nurses, they are doctors Men do "dirty jobs" such as construction and mechanics; they are not secretaries, teachers, or cosmetologists Men do not do housework and they are not responsible for taking care of children Men play video games Men play sports Men enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, and hiking Men are in charge; they are always at the top As husbands, men tell their wives what to do Men are lazy and/or messy Men are good at math It is always men who work in science, engineering, and other technical fields Men do not cook, sew, or do crafts

Man Flu is one of the most sexist stereotype. Basically stating that men over state their illness when they get sick in order to get attention.

Today I saw an ad for a room:

1 single bedroom available in 2 bedroom house shared with Asian family (preferred a professional / student lady). But a decent and clean man can be considered.

See. No stereotype. Just a picture of generosity. Who could possibly complain?

Men are required to die for Women and Children.

My stereo is a Yamaha.

More seriously: Men don't have feelings! Men don't like children. Men can't nurture children or raise them properly alone. All men are rapists. All men are child abusers. Men hate movies that don't have sex and violence. Men make terrible teachers. Men are stupid. Men don't ask for directions. ... um. ... hm. There are lots more, but my brain is refusing to give me any more at the moment.

If you continue the discussion with whoever told you that, be prepared for the next stage of the argument. If you give them some stereotypes, they might say that those stereotypes actually favor men because we live in a patriarchal society that rewards stereotypical male traits.

Anyway, here's another one: Men are expected to 'man up'. What is manning up? It's whatever the shamer wants it to mean, but often related to a supposed obligation to do something for a woman. A man's manhood can be called into question for not living up to whatever the arbitrary standards are. The irony is that it's often feminists that use the term 'man up', at obvious odds with their rhetoric that gender norms need to be smashed.

They'll do anything for sex. That's a big one.

Men are slut shamed way more then women. What this exchange when they talk about spike mantipulating fred. For what? So that he doesn't have to literally slip into hell? In particular notice how nooclous those words really are

" He is quite the dish with those eyes, and hair, and cheeks and what do you think I am? I stupid?"

This were a women they were talking about nobody would accuse of her of using her sexuality to gain favors unless she was way more raunchy [like this]nsfw

I mean there nothing about the above sentence except in the way it's delivered that implies anything sexual

For god's sake Douglas Reyholms neckline from IT crowd is just as long as Maurie Moss's. But his neckline says that he's a sexist pig, and her's says that she's a responsible mature adult. In fact she's seen as the most mature character on the show as she is responsible for keeping the man children in line.

On a serious note: I have an older friend (in his 40s) that is becoming a high school teacher. He is not married and has no kids, and is seriously considering making up a wife in order to not be seen as a possible pedo or "creepy" in hiring interviews.
