A stereotype is an overgeneralization by definition. Meaning that, while it has a kernel of truth, it's ultimately incorrect because it generalizes too broadly.

Men and women are different, but I don't think they're as different as they're being made to be. When you say 2/3rds of X are Y, is this inherent or learned?

Also, this is an off-topic discussion. It should be branched to another thread.
