I believe some men may automatically interpret a womea's expectation that he pay for dates to mean she is a gold-digger. Also, I think some men misinterpret a woman's desire that a man take care of her/the family the same. Often times, the true meaning of these "expectations" is never fully discussed between that man and that woman. When left to interpretation, some men assume the worst.

I'll answer my own question. The negative gender stereotype that says that women only care about what a man can do for them financially hurts ME as a person because I resent what it implies about women....that we all need a man to "take care of us" financially, that we are manipulative enough to enter and nuture a relationship solely for fiduciary gain. Sure, there are a few of those out there who meet that description, probably QUITE a few, but the vast majority of the women I have known in my life didn't give a hoot about their date's "spending power'. It upsets me to think that any man I would be dating might be wondering about my motivations along those lines and that I may be in a position where I have to prove myself to NOT be a golddigger.
The negative gender stereotype that says women in management positions are there because of their calculating and callous approach to others, hurts ME as a woman because this stereotype erroneously implies that women are unable to achieve positions in management due to intelligence, work ethic or sheer suitability to the role. It bothers me when I have this comment levelled at me, I've never done anything devious or nasty to get my current role. My role did not exist until I suggested it in mid-2006, and comments of this nature undermine and belittle the years of hard work and dedication I put in to get to my current position. (Strangely - I mostly find it is women who make this comment and usually behind my back!)

There are so many negative stereotypes against men today I wouldn't know where to start. America has installed an Apartheid system where women are 1st class Citizens and men are 2nd class Citizens.


Today men are shown by the TV & media to be incompetent fat slobs who quiver and shake at the mere disaproving breath that their wives make.


If you want to sell a product, anything like detergent, a cheeseburger, anything, TV commercials first have a man beat up.
Do women really laugh at that? Furthermore the men are aways shown as clueless idiots.


These same thought patterns have seeped into our laws, education, work environments and the internet. On websites I see constrictive actions taken against men but when women do the same thing, they are treated with a light touch.


But perhaps the worse disservice done by these modern day misandrists is that of legally implying men are automatically guilty of domestic violence. In an era when false domestic violence complaints are the majority of all domestic violence charges (l've lived this nightmare) men are automatically seen as a T-Rex. While the woman is largely painted a victim.


The negative gender stereotype that says men are abusive in marriages but women are not hurts ME as a person because it has affected my ability to see my child, is expensive & impossible to defend against, takes away my due process rights guaranteed me under the Constitution of the United States, makes me a virtual Political prisioner on the internet, takes away my freedom of speech and stops me emotionally from purseing life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness.
