Gender stereotypes have hurt American society for a while. They are misconceptions about the role of men compared to the role of women in society, the family, and the workplace.
A stereotype is a preconception based on tradition or past experience in a particular event, that is generalized and applied to further events or people.
Ideas such as "men don't cry, women do." Or "men are more capable to have leadership positions than women can't." Or "men are tougher and better suited to run business." These old-fashion ideas can harm the role of women in society and are detrimental to the modern way of thinking that the American people should have.
