What comes to mind when someone says the word stereotype? For most, it is often a never-ending ideology of how people ought to act instead of how they actually behave.

Men have always been classed as macho men. They have been portrayed as the muscular and formidable protectors of women.

Oftentimes, when a man is deemed to like something feminine, they are called to be “fruity” among other things. But liking feminine things should not automatically stereotype men.

It is common knowledge that people love judging one another and there is little to nothing that we can do to change that. Women more so tend to judge men that openly engage in “girly” activities which lessens the chance of being considered for a romantic committed relationship.

So instead of trying to change that behavior, why not focus your efforts on how you feel about being judged instead? Luckily, the Internet has helped with changing the stereotype.
