Stereotyping

It's your stereotyping.

As the great Shirley Chisholm once said, “The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begin when the doctor says, ‘It’s a girl.’” And that has consequences for all of us, whether we’re men or women, black, white, gay, straight, transgender or otherwise.

I asked our bloggers to reflect on their experiences, and to discuss any negative incidents they may have had with stereotyping or prejudice.

Stereotyping crying as feminine perpetuates harmful gender biases and restricts emotional expression.
