  • where are the stereotypes?

    There is nothing wrong with any of these videos.

  • 4:35 is the best one. but still not a stereotype. women cant drive for shit, and that's the truth.

  • The Rose Pettal Cottage, Made In China, Loaded With Toxic Chemicals! :D

  • how is the hilary swank one a stereotyoe

  • @hypermaxisEX He's ganna forget that she's a girl. Cuz girls SHOULDN'T be fighters

  • hhahahhahaha all true

  • Come on people! Accept Gays,Lesbians,Bisexuals,and Transgenders into society and poof stereotypes blurred and more diversity.

  • lol that tire commercial that dramatized women driving was actually pretty hilarious

  • Most of these are definitely promoting stereotypes, but the Scrubs clip was making fun of the stereotypes, not supporting them.

  • This is gross

  • Cool video, More people need to speak out about this issue.

  • If you want to make a point about stereotypes in media, you may not want to show examples of irony and satire.

  • So... you want men to act like women and women to act like men? Because we already have those... they are called Gays.

  • @Machampion100 it isnt about gays but about being yourself , not trying to follow a stereotype like men=muscular dumb who protects weak little women

  • @Machampion100

    hardly. social influences lead a lot of gays and lesbians to act like or identify as similar to the opposite sex, but there are masculine gays and feminine lesbians. The predominance of homosexuals who act like the opposite gender is just social conditioning. A homosexual person thinks that's how he should act, or a "feminine" guy thinks that being feminine means he's gay because that's what we're taught gay is.

  • how is 0:01 sexist?

    btw old spice ftw

  • man tough. man like big truck. man hate yoga. real man show no emotional vulnerability. emotion is for pussies. man fuck pussies

    

  • @sticksmania did you not JUST see arnold schwnhkger? (yeah I can't spell his last name)

  • fuck that shit.

  • @sticksmania Yes they do, it's brought up every single time there's a discussion about male stereotypes (in my world at least).

  • Both men and women are stereotyped.

  • @sticksmania Your just as bad as the media for sharing a stereotypical view, grow up.

  • To be fair, a few of these seem to be making fun of stereotypes rather than enforcing them.

  • bring me thou body and please me before i thrash you with the finest of lether

  • I love the old tire commercial. Not that I'm sexist but that you won't be able to find a commercial like that anymore.

  • "boys have a penis girls have a vagina"

    yeah I hate that stereotype. totally not true.

  • @NoTrueFace1 I'm a boy with out a penis - bodies can be deceptive.

  • The definition of male is roughly "someone with a penis". the definition of "boy" is roughly "young male". I suppose ultimately it comes down to the Y chromosone. So if you're transgender, then no you are not male. If you have some odd medical condition then perhaps.

    Seperately, I don't understand transgendered people. Gender has nothing to do with my identity. If my sex was magically reversed today then i'd just keep living how I do now and if society found that abnormal then fuck them

  • @NoTrueFace1 no. male is a set of habits and roles, not a body type. there is a distinction between sex and gender. maybe do a little research before posting on the internet? i don't give a fuck if you understand transgender people or not, you're kind of an idiot.

  • @NoTrueFace1

    "the earth is round and not flat"

    You must hate that stereotype too. 

  • @JonestownHangover

    are you an idiot or is this an attempt at humor that is entirely lost on me?

  • @Mr420Lifer

    So...all women are submissive, shallow, nurturing, house slaves and servants who are good for nothing but child bearing and making sandwiches

    And all men are loud, overbearing, football-watching, sports car-driving, money grubbing, pride-driven pieces of shit?

    Please tell me where the "level of truth" in this bullshit is

  • 0:53 I don't really care about the link between gender and leadership (never thought about it that much)

    But this woman is just a treat to the ear. No bashing, no insulting, just a reasonable, selfless thought. And something positive about men for a change.

    Much unlike the feminist bastards to my right who say disney is sexist.

    DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT DISNEY!

  • @Lulmaarraak1

    There are positive things said about men and women here, but there is also an exclusion of those qualities in the reverse gender. I am nurturing. I'm better with kids than anyone else in my family. I have powerful adversion to and even fear of conflict, which made me timid as a child. I also have powerful ambition and a competitive drive, and have learned courage.

    Can you guess my gender? If it isn't clear, doesn't that show how gender is only a social construct?

  • @NoTrueFace1 I get your point but exceptions don't make the rules. Ofcourse gender roles are partially constructed.

    If you state that there are no natural differences between the genders then I invite you to address a biologist, he'll be able to explain the differences between genders much better than me.

  • exceptions don't prove rules but they do disprove them. Biology is of minimal relevance. Very young children are gender neutral in personality.They adopt the roles that we teach them but there is no excess of aggresion or absense of nurture in boys.Nurture usually trump nature in psychology because social influence is so powerful that it can cause outright supression of natural tendencies if need be

    May I ask if you believe in the soul?

  • @NoTrueFace1 You're probably the smartest person here. Just saying~

  • @Lulmaarraak1 Please go and READ what "gender" is before making oblivious comments. And do it from a dictionary, NOT "wikipedia."

  • And THIS is why I wish I was a man.

  • The Anchor Man clip really wasnt bad. it was pointing out how stupidly sexist people were in the 70's.

    nice medly

  • @defyingdarwin Then make one

  • seeing all these women has made me really hungry for a sandwich

  • im a male and i hate cars and football and violence so fuck these stereotypes they are pissing me off

  • @HUNRUSPWNZ Have you checked your pants recently, ensured there's a penis present?

  • @NOHHissue Dumb clone.

  • @HUNRUSPWNZ Why don't you cry about it?

    Although you probably already are.

  • @HUNRUSPWNZ I have hated these stereotypes as long as I can remember. Especially this stereotype of a "manly" western man.

  • @HUNRUSPWNZ true i like cars but im not a fan of football and violence even though football is cool and violence is aweful

  • @HUNRUSPWNZ you must be gay

  • @RobProductionsGB no , but you need a brain kid.

  • @HUNRUSPWNZ nahh, you're just gay.

  • What the fuck does polyglass mean?

  • Come on now, the commercial at 06:00 is awesome!

  • I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the eifel tower out metal and brawn!

  • A lot of the examples you´re giving are questioning gender roles and not stereotyping....

  • A lot of the examples you´re giving are questioning gender roles and not stereotyping....

  • @sticksmania People talk about it all the time. Sarah Haskins has a great clip on YouTube about it called "Doofy Husbands". Feminists in particular have pointed out how the "stupid guy" stereotype is used to excuse men from doing housework.

  • Not all of these are really stereotypes, but more like target markets.

  • @sticksmania I do all the time. I was actually just discussing this with my daughter as we watched some of the depictions of men in this very video: women are made to look competent and responsible, while men are depicted as irresponsible, lazy, and insecure in their masculinity. The media does this all the time, and basically little girls are taught to accept that this is the way men are; for example, "boys will be boys." My standards of men are much higher.

  • The problem is that some women see being a woman as something to be ashamed of, as if taking care of kids or cooking dinner is somehow a negative thing, and I'm not even saying that's the woman's role. Why is it that men don't get upset about male stereotypes, but women do? Women are relentlessly encouraged to do whatever they want, to break out of cultural norms, yet men are discouraged from such. You don't see us whining about it.

  • @GuppyPal Amen brother.

  • these stereotypes apply to a great amount of the mayority

  • the woman is (unconvincingly) hanging for her life... so he flirts with her??

  • this is scary how true this is.

  • @IndieDream231 by how media tells us how we are so pose to be.

  • @sticksmania

    yes transe humenism will help men gain back there self respect an help women stop get hit on by fat an old guy sice there will be few if any fat an old guy left every one would look like Women.

  • OMG

    ...

    Women driving all alone! xP

  • Post modern feminism an transe genderism is what we need to Progress forward to as A socitey.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 You know you don't have to be a sub servant dipshit to have a progressive society. You have to love yourself to love another.

  • @brian4480

    A dip shit what the fuck are you talking about you don't have to Agree with me don't insult me have some matter an put you head back in you Ass where it belong!

    p.s you belong in A museum.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 P.S. You are one mix up pup...let me get this right your a nazi communist who hates men. You say your a satanist yet have atheist subs. A Nationalist yet Libertarian to boot........Who belongs in a museum? Lemme guess you are also a member of the black panthers, but you never go to meetings cuz you hate "the blacks". You need to be under observation, your kind of self hate added to a sub par education= shooting rampage

  • @brian4480

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666

    hmmm not a commie well nice name douche bag

  • Women, back to the kitchen.

  • Only a very small portion of this is serious. It's mostly comedy. Lol

  • Okay, some of those, like the 'Rose Petal Cottage' are a bit insulting; there's the pastel pinks and the concept that the girl's 'dreams' should be to be a housewife. But most of the clips are there as part of comedy; they're mocking gender stereotypes. Million Dollar baby is totally out of context, the male character is supposed to start chauvenistic and the woman proves she's more than that. And some, like the tyre advert, are so old that it kind of doesn't count...

  • this is reality, not stereotypes.

  • @Gutsyndicate Obvious troll is obvious.

  • @AugustinesCompanion thats true. Men and women are after all different from each other.

  • Haha the tire commercial was hilarious!

  • One day women will rule the world and guys will be only used as slaves for reproducing.

  • @fluffybunny360 and you make it sound bad that men must reproduce and do no work.

  • @cookiemonster9052 They would also be laborers.

  • fuck you!

  • 2:30 Yes it gives her dreams all the potential of her becoming a 50s housewife....

  • You don't want a nuturing leader? Sorry Jesus.

  • A place of her very own where she [...] can entertain her imagination - YAY! Let's do laundry!!! :D

  • purse backpack FTW

  • this is hilarious and sad at the same time.

  • yea and bitches are stupid to be agreeing to playing these parts in movies, commercials, etc,,if they didnt do it, they wouldnt look like this.

  • @mkr6158 look like what?

  • my computer is slow so far all ive seen was a little boy tell some guy that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.

  • @1800simon1800 which is why you're still single.

  • @alrune8 lol im not actually try again

  • @1800simon1800 well i believe you are. Either that or you're whipped and in need of revalidating your manliness, or your relationship is not fulfilling . Only bitter, insecure, frustrated men enjoy putting women down for the sake of it. Or maybe you're just trolling, which is another word for desperate attention whore.

  • @alrune8 lol sandwich me, bitch

  • WhatTheHellWater

  • is it wrong that this gives me a boner?

  • bahhahahaahahahaaa stfu, gender stereotypes are a part of life,GET USE TO IT!!!

  • What so you want evryone one to think women are the same as men?? They are equal yeah but theyre different...which is good

  • That first one from Kindergarten cop wasn't all that much of a stereotype. Typically, in the vast majority humans are born with one pair of sexual organs. There are exceptions to this but in those situations those individuals are referred to as neither fully male nor female. Technically, the kid saying boys have a penis and girls have a vagina is perfectly accurate, considering that is how our biology typically functions, and when it doesn't we don't apply those people to be fully boy or girl.

  • Feminists need to go die.

  • @lxKazxl AND I THINK MEN SHOULD DIE BUT OBVIOUSLY MY DREAM WON'T COME TRUE :'(

  • @SomePinkGirl They see me Trollin

  • Most of these examples are either thirty years old or from movies, shows, and ads that intentionally play on stereotypes for the purposes of comedy. When old spice guy talks about "manly" things like basketball, recon, and frenching, that is an intentional exaggeration. It's called satire folks.

  • who is the feminist bitch who put this on

  • @blizzard4422 YOUR MAMMA

  • lol.

  • Needs more Old Spice commercials, and Gillette groin shaving.

  • The guy at 2:51 sounds like the ghouls from the Fallout games.

  • 3:34 WTF! i use old spice but is because it smells nice like white flowers or something. XDD

  • lol arnold at the beginning:

    "thanks for the tip."

  • for what we cannot immediately explain.

  • 2:04 I laughed so hard when I saw that XD

  • 5:41 WTF was that between her legs? xD

  • @karkkiliininam - looked like she raised her foot.

  • 3:38 He's right, he is dumb.

    And 5:30 isn't sexist, it is solid, embarrassingly undeniable truth.

  • Boil water in 90 seconds? That's awesome!

  • How is the first ad sexually stereotyping? Because boys DO have a penis and women DO have a vagina. :\ I don't get how that's stereotypical.

  • Clip #2: That woman is a slave!!

  • A woman cooking dinner. How offensive! Seriously. If you're offended by this you should go to Iran.

  • @professorfoxtrot If you think it's just the fact that she's cooking then you obviously arn't seeing the problem. It's so much more than "a woman cooking".

  • @RosefulEvelyns You know women are called the gentler sex for a reason. Men have much higher levels of testosterone than women, and this is some problem isn't it? Stereotypes are based on truth. Showing doctors over the age of 20 is a stereotype, a fit person working out at the gym is a stereotype. Want another one? How about fat people eating ice cream. The term "stereotype" is an attempt at disguising the truth by implication that showing reality as it is, is unacceptable.

  • @professorfoxtrot Stereotypes start from a grain of the truth. They don't reflect the truth. They take a simple concept and blow it out of proportion. For example. A fat person eating ice cream. Yes, some fat people eat ice cream. Plenty of fat people don't, and plenty of people who are not fat eat ice cream. What it does is give the impression that all members of a group do one thing and all who do that thing belong to that group. Fat person=ice cream. It's then taken as fact.

  • @RosefulEvelyns Everyone knows that there are exceptions to every rule. But as a general claim it's on the money and the evidence is there to support it. Thus to say, "well that's a stereotype" is a completely banal straw man argument because no one is saying that it's applicable to every single person. These ads aren't even stating that women do these things but a large enough cross-section do based on their market-research.

  • If someone ever says to you "that's just a stereotype" while arguing with you, you should treat this person with contempt because they essentially asking to turn off your rational faculties in favor of politically correct idealism. The are asking you to suspend your reasoning for foolish fairy tales and wish-thinking. It would be as equally as absurd to be posit, "Smoking increases your chances of getting cancer? That's just a stereotype!"

  • @professorfoxtrot No one said stereotypes arn't sometimes true. But they are never always true. The problem with stereotypes is people take them at face value. They judge people. If someone says to you "that's just a stereotype" It's likely in defence of you judging them by it. The definition of a stereotype is not "something that applies to most members of a group" It's "A set of inaccurate, simplistic generalizations of a group that allows others to categorize them and treat them accordingly".

  • @RosefulEvelyns There's nothing wrong with judging people based on what they do. Judging people based on what they don't do is predjudice. But those who use the term "stereotype" take the weaslily way out of an argument by claiming that they are immune from criticism for what they do. I would argue that if someone's gay there's a greater likelihood of wearing a tight shirt. That's what's implied when you say, "that's a pretty gay-looking shirt" not that all gay people would wear it.

  • No one should even have to preface what they say every single time with "there's a higher correlation that group "A" exhibits behavioral trait X than group "B". It's implied and to say that this person is guilty of stereotyping is to miss the point entirely in favor of obstructing truth, reality and in some cases even freedom of speech. Any group that claims immunity from having its precious feelings hurt can take a number, stand in line and kiss my ass.

  • @professorfoxtrot Well, a simple "lots of "A" do "x"." would do, but that's not the point. People who use the term 'stereotype' are not (at least usually not or not always) trying to escape being prosicuted for faults, they are trying to escape being wrongly grouped in with others. "Black people steal things". This is a very negative stereotype. If a black man were to call you on it, he would not be trying to weasle out of the fact that he steals, but trying to tell you he doesn't steal.

  • @RosefulEvelyns But such a person would have nothing to prove since it doesn't preclude that "all black people steal things" in which case it would just be self-evidently false and would require no further comment. But this term asks us to ignore what happens in Nigeria, Haiti, and the various other banana republics lest we be accused of perpetuating such a negative stereotype, and yes I think if someone were to deny this by sweeping it under carpet I think it would be quite weasily.

  • @professorfoxtrot The fact that a person looks at a black man and associates him with stealing (not that I'm saying people so that, but some do, just an example) doesn't seem bad to you? Holding the stereotype that black people steal things is grouping all black people in with the ones that steal. Even though people of all races steal, and only some black people do. Then you might look at a white person stealing and think "oh, that's something black people do" (a bad example, you get the point).

  • @professorfoxtrot Then when that person has no right to be offended? It isn't wrong to assume he steals things?

  • @RosefulEvelyns "Then when that person has no right to be offended? It isn't wrong to assume he steals things?" Again you're using the term "all" and not correlation. No reasonable person would ever make the case that because someone is black they are a theif and that's precisely why the term stereotype is frivolous. There is practically no given situation where anyone would make the claim group association determines any absolute characteristic unless they were inherently contingent.

  • @professorfoxtrot Now let's assume the wikipedia definition, "based on prior assumptions," without any prior assumptions we are but empty vessels without values or morals. The adverisements you see above are an example of inspid political correctness spinning its wheels because they are based on reality. If little girls had dreams of testosterone driven sports and racing cars, advertisers would try to appeal to them, but they don't. The people who cry "gender stereoypes" want to force men...

  • and women to have equal interests. You can't force women to like these things any more than you can force an NHL team in Mexico. It's embarrassing that some people demonize advertisers as oppressors, guilty of enforcing stereotypes for simply responding to what people demand and it's even more so to demand an alternate reality where women are football players and men wash the dishes- one that's undemocratic and people didn't ask for.

  • @professorfoxtrot .....Without this silly meaningless stereotype, boys would wear pink as much as girls. On the other hand, little girls wear pink because it is a stereotype for them to. They want to do what girls do. It's not a stereotype because girls wear pink, girls wear pink because it's a stereotype. If something is a stereotype, no matter how true it is at the moment, it will be forced on people for much longer than it's validity would otherwise last.....

  • @professorfoxtrot .....If something is considered normal people will want to fallow that. Anyone who doesn't is not concidered normal, and is therefore discouraged, because people don't like to be looked at as different. Useing your example, a girl might want to play football. But her peers would discourage her. Because girls don't play football. A man might want to stay home and take care of his baby, but his buddies might laugh. People fit into stereotypes long after stereotypes are valid.....

  • @RosefulEvelyns "it inforces the idea that these things are true and normal, when without them, it wouldn't be." I think this is the crux of your argument because it relies on circular reasoning known as petitio principii. A is a stereotype because it's enforced by social conditions, it's enforced by social conditions because it is a stereotype. Thus if it were not a stereotype A would be untrue. Going back to football, would it be sufficient to claim that women don't play football because...

  • it doesn't fit the stereotype of their expected behavior. Yet the assumption is if women were encouraged to play football they would take an equal interest as men. Hope you're still with me at this point and ask yourself how this "stereotype" came to fruition. Could it be physiological differences or hormonal differences, how about cognitive/neural differences. When we say that it's a "just a stereotype" we don't really need to involve ourselves in any further thinking and just blame society...

  • @professorfoxtrot Exactly. It's enforced by social conditions, then it's a stereotype. The stereotype keeps things in a loop, and doesn't allow for them to change even if they wanted to. Or at least not for a long time.

    And I don't understand your logic. How does dressing a little boy in pink (or even in a dress, though it's a much bigger divide between genders) destroy his dreams of becoming an astronaught or a race car driver?

  • @RosefulEvelyns Feminists are innately incapable of understanding boyhood/manhood which is why they don't mind if they turn their child into a sissy or humiliate them for their own cause. Thankfully neurotic feminists mothers are but a fringe minority. Whenever feminists want to convince people that men are evil they try take their studies to the nazis. (Interesting fact, Hitler was raised by a single mother.) While it's true that they used pink triangles, you have to ask then, why?

  • Is it as simple as the Nazis wanting to enforce rigid stereotypes? The case of girls wearing pink and boys blue actually predates the Nazis, in many cases was documented as French fashion in the mid-late 19th century. Feminists would like people to believe the differences between men and women are instituted by oppression and evil. Ergo, no feminist study will acknowledge any evidence to suggest that such colors were chosen as a matter of preference.

  • @professorfoxtrot Im not sure I fully understand. Let me make it clear that Im not a feminist nor do I think men are evil. Also I'll point out that just about every cause trying to convince anyone of anything uses the nazis as an example. I wasnt doing that. I was only explaning that the color pink being associated with homosexuals made it less manly in the eyes of the public, and so the colors were switched. It was used in the first place because it was a boys color, indicating they liked boys.

  • @RosefulEvelyns Fair enough. I guess what I'm saying is that feminists will selectively omit that this predated Nazi Germany if it makes men look less evil. Anyway there's no beating around the bush anyore, it's a fact that women (do I need to say "not every woman"?) are typically the weaker sex by the design of science. I'm not trying to parade this like some kind of dandy or throw it in women's faces as to insult them. I'm just asking for people to recognize that the term "stereotype"...

  • ... isn't even a basis for argument and for the recognition of truth. It is become cliche, nay a stereotype for first year undergrads to use the word "stereotype." I like to give my fellow humans more credit than to assume they believe that every person having characteristic X believes in Y.

  • @professorfoxtrot Your opinion makes sense. It's just that while stereotypes can be true they tend to get taken advantage of and assumed/expected of people. Personally I would like to live in a world of individuals, but I know that doesn't make sense. I know that stereotypes are used to describe groups, but they are also used to misjudge individuals and sometimes groups, and I try to stress the fact that it happens, and shouldn't happen. Probably because I particularly destest those situations.

  • @professorfoxtrot .....I'm not saying some stereotypes arn't true, or for the most part valid. But the problem is not that many people of a certain group do something, it's that the group will always be associated with that thing, no matter how true it is. And the problem with constant intentional stereotypes in advertisements is that people take them as normal. Either consciously or subconsciously it inforces the idea that these things are true and normal, when without them, it wouldn't be.

  • @professorfoxtrot No one thinks that because someone is black they are a thief, but when they look at a black person, they might think he's a thief. Because he's black, that person's reaction is to think he might be a thief. And what about stereotypes that arn't true? Outdated stereotypes, or stereotypes that were never really valid to begin with. Stereotypes discourage things to change. Little boys won't wear pink, because they will be teased. Because pink is a girls color......

  • Comment removed

  • @RosefulEvelyns Perhaps it's because pink IS a girl's colour. When I say that, I mean in the literal sense that girls prefer the colour pink. Same thing can be said about dresses. Some parents might be fine with sending their little boy off to school in a dress (a stereotypical female gaurment), but I think it would be damning to demascu
