Let's reinforce stereotypes.

Then bust stereotypes up!

What do you think women can't do?
What have you heard women can't do?
Feel free to be sexist.
Or not, as you desire.
Women, feel free to offer a rebuttal.
Share your experiences, or those of the women in your lives.

My husband and I have this debate (comically) frequently. According to him, women can't fart, and their poops are invariably dainty.


I was raised to believe that women couldn't think scientifically, that they couldn't process complex thought. That they had an affinity for nurturing rather than reason, and therefore they were incapable of any complex sin. You can imagine my frustration and confusion when I didn't fit into any of the molds such a society offered for a female, and no matter how I tried to fit in, I simply didn't. I began to hate femininity and desire to be something that I simply was not. I dreamed of having the freedom offered any man, and frequently cross-dressed with little success. I soon realized that I could shed the religion and walk into an entirely different life, one free from the shackles that held me into submission.
