6 Gender Stereotypes About Men We Should Get Rid Of

Gender stereotypes create a disadvantage for everyone. In fact, women and the LGBTQ community aren’t the only victims of the gender stereotype. It can be just as disadvantageous for men when they are stereotyped. It just as easily affects their careers, social lives, and even their safety.

Men may have the upper hand in terms of career preferences, physical strength, and cognitive abilities *says science*, but none of that matters if the stereotypes foisted on them invalidate all that they work for.If the system doesn’t change soon, it might do more damage than what’s already been done. Men deserve a chance to defend themselves against stereotypes.

# Men in a certain industry can’t be straight

There are some industries, like fashion, cosmetics, and beauty, that portray men in a specific light. If a man works as a hairdresser, he is automatically dubbed a homosexual. The same goes for designers, nurses, and masseurs.

There’s nothing wrong with being gay, of course, but it is disturbing to confuse someone’s sexual identity with their professional life.

# Men leave you when you become clingy

The mind games people play turn out to be their downfall—usually because of stereotyping. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you came clean and told men how you really feel?

Yes, playing hard-to-get can be effective, but there’s no truth to the myth of men leaving the moment a woman gets emotional. It’s the biggest lie in dating, and you’re better off not using it.

# Men cheat on you when you ignore them

Men cheat on you when they are assholes. If you ignore them, they resent it. It makes them feel bad, but not all of them cheat because of it.

# Men are prone to violence and extreme anger

Anyone with an underlying aggression problem is prone to violence. The media simply portrays men as the predator in most cases. Statistically, there are more men who commit violent crimes, yes. But that doesn’t mean other genders aren’t prone to violence, as well.

# Men love boobs

I was a little skeptical about putting this here, but it’s still one of those commonly accepted gender stereotypes. Not all men like breasts. Some like legs, butts, and even torso curves more than they do boobs.

# Men don’t care about weddings

The fact that a guy asked you to marry him pretty much shows he’s into weddings. They might not be as into flowers as the bride is, but they also want to experience a nice day.

Lots of men would love to be involved in their wedding plans. You can’t imagine how psyched they can get about picking matching suits for themselves and their groomsmen.

# Men cannot be in a relationship without sex

Men have foregone sex until marriage since the beginning of time. This is especially true for those who are very much in love and are willing to wait and respect their partner’s beliefs about sex.
