13- Stereotypes abound when it comes to gender, and they often come into play most clearly when someone offers a verbal put-down. Discuss one of these specific words or phrases and reflect on the role of language in gender conflict.
Stereotypes form a big problem in our society today. Majority of people have a stereotype about a certain group of people whether they want to believe it or not. A phrase that I hear alot is men saying that a womans place is in the home and not in the work field. Though many woman now are beoming more independent every day, it doesn't change the way some men think. Alot of men think that they should be the ones making all the money and the woman takes care of the house. This for me refers back to men thinking they are better than woman and they have more power. I feel that this a huge problem now and that more people should set out to make it known that men and womem are capable of the same things and one shouldn't be looked down upon.
