whether positive or negative, stereotypes all come from the same place nigelgoboom Send a noteboard - 12/07/2011 04:29:23 AM

Observation! Repeated observation!

Whether you're talking about the stereotype of "the nuturing mother" or "the brave fire fighter" or any of the many "negative" stereotypes available.

Applying that kind of generalization to the individual can be bigotry, well for the negative ones anyway.

On the other hand you should never be SUPRISED by a stereotype.

That's like being suprised by rain falling from dark clouds. Sure it's doesn't ALWAYS rain when dark clouds are above you, but it does happen often enough to make grabbing your umbrella a no brainer.

Yes, and the way Egwene expressed her thoughts on the matter is quite disturning too Zeratul - 11/07/2011 12:56:59 AM 922 Views

You have to make sure your husbands do what you want, while making them think it was their idea. CatherineSedai - 21/07/2011 04:28:39 AM 933 Views
And I can buy that, which is why I'm surprised at how many claimed they were inaccurate. Seriously, newyorkersedai - 26/07/2011 01:44:28 AM 924 Views
I always thought it was relatively accurate. Onarishma - 21/07/2011 11:36:41 PM 868 Views
