whether positive or negative, stereotypes all come from the same place

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.
What;s your favorite RJ comment on the sexes?

Women cannot admit they were wrong and will partner up with their worst enemy against a man over it.

You have to make sure your husbands do what you want, while making them think it was their idea.

And I can buy that, which is why I'm surprised at how many claimed they were inaccurate. Seriously,
