I think the whole generalisation and stereotypes has afflicted our sense of being individuals in society. Everyone has the right to be an individual
but few people choose this decision. They would rather see the opposite sex as a problem and group these problems as a similarity for that gender.
This does degrade both male and female sex and hence the individual will consciously try to accept (and commit) to their own stereotype motives that
their gender has. Also the media have always been the catalyst to this problem.
Tell this one to yourself:
"I've turned out to be an individual with my own strengths and weaknesses."
