A person can ALWAYS get a job and make more money,but their personality usually doesnt change. So i stick with what really matters.
Every time someone notes a trend or similarity, someone who doesn't like it yells out "Stereotype!" How can you really talk about women or men at all then? You can't. We're talking about similarities in women and men. Just because you don't do it doesn't mean most women are the same as you. Let's just keep the word stereotype out of this. Using it as a stop all because you disagree just stunts the conversation. Let's just say everything we're saying about men and women is a stereotype. Let's face it, if you say "Women are..." or "Men think..." you're always making a generalization. If you don't like stereotypes, it's impossible to have this conversation.
