The things said in class were a huge over exaggeration. Well most things anyway. TV, books, movies, magazines and many other sources develop stereotypes that we are constantly being bombarded by and our brains are infiltrated with this faulty information. Watch almost any show and you will see a man being stupid, cocky, a pig or watching some sport on television. It is the same thing for women, blonde, dumb bimbos, needy women looking for a man to complete her. Also, you see over-protectiveness on both sides.
We really are too tough on one another. It is almost as if we look for the faults in a person before we actually get to know them. Just by looking at them we decide what kind of person they are. It is are responsibility to get to know a person before we categorize them to a stereotype.
Beyonce's song If I Were a Boy hits the nail on the head. Makes you look from both points of view.
