Perpetuating the Stereotypes


I saw this posted on Facebook today and my blood boiled. So many blanket statements that have absolutely NOTHING to do with being female ("I push doors that clearly say PULL", "I count on my fingers in math"). Why do we perpetuate stereotypes with stupid things like this? Why do we think so little of ourselves that we   see this and say "oh yeah, this makes me proud to be a woman."? This does not make me proud to be a woman. This makes me sad.

Come on, ladies. Think before you perpetuate stereotypes.

I totally agree. I am a farm girl as well and people seem to think that women are helpless. This is a prime example of why men think that women are helpless. Because women post things like this and make themselves look....dare I say...dumb.
