"I love my brother and all, but sometimes I&amp;#x27;m aghast at his ability to make generalizations about women based on the fact that, well, we&amp;#x27;re not men. Since he&amp;#x27;s too old to put in a headlock, I&amp;#x27;ve instead put together a list of six stereotypes I&amp;#x27;d like us ALL to retire. Easy breezy, right? Not so much. 1. Women are terrible drivers. Not to toot my own horn (See what I did there?) but I happen to be fantastic driver, and I can parallel park like no one&amp;#x27;s business. In fact, I&amp;#x27;ve never been more frightened for my life than when I&amp;#x27;m in a car with a male cab driver. So what does that say? I know I&amp;#x27;m stereotyping, but I&amp;#x27;m also making a point. 2. Every woman wants to get married and pop out babies. Maybe back in the day this was true (in part due to societal pressures), but nowadays more women are staying single to concentrate on their careers and self-growth. Case in point: All of my ex-boyfriends are married now. And I am currently not, nor am I tripping that it will never happen. 3. Women are nags. Smitten blogger Gena puts it like this: &amp;quot;I hate how men always gripe about how women &amp;#x27;nag&amp;#x27; them because a) we don&amp;#x27;t, and b) if she had to ask you ten times to clean up your dishes, um... she&amp;#x27;s not nagging, you are lazy and rude.&amp;quot; 4. Stay-at-home moms have it easy. This couldn&amp;#x27;t be further from the truth. As anyone with a shred of intelligence knows, a stay-at-home mom is never off the clock. It&amp;#x27;s akin to a 168-hour work week. According to my friend Sara, just when you think you have it all under control, the littlest pours cereal milk all over the freshly-mopped kitchen floor. 5. Women are weak. To any man who thinks this, I ask, &amp;quot;Have you heard of any of these women?&amp;quot; Or perhaps, &amp;quot;Have you ever seen a woman give birth?&amp;quot; &amp;#x27;Nuff said. 6. Women are crazy. This one makes my blood boil. I once made a business decision to pull out of opening a bar because I didn&amp;#x27;t trust my partner. When my guy friend called me to talk me out of it (most likely because he wanted a place to drink for free), his response was &amp;quot;Why are you so crazy?&amp;quot; Fast forward one year, and the business tanked due to unpaid rent. What he called &amp;quot;crazy,&amp;quot; I call &amp;quot;rational.&amp;quot; Which of these stereotypes bug you the most? Are there any others that get to you? Also, do any of your guys or guy friends buy into these stereotypes? Which ones?
