I’m wondering what any of this has to do with feminism. Are you prepared to show how feminism created the stereotypes above, or has it rather tried to shatter them?

When you listed the female characteristics, you choose attractive ones, but when you listed the male characteristics, you used several unattracted ones. This leads to WAW (women are wonderful).

A more accurate description of an idealized male stereotype would be strong, fearless, risking own life to protect or help others, rational, wise, etc

Just a guess.

Jim what is your point here?

When I got off active duty from the Army, I eventually went into teaching. I taught at the high school level. (My army experience was a huge help with teenagers. They respond like slightly younger soldiers to the same things - respect, acknowdledgement of their tribulations, encouragement that they are tougher than their tribulations, the insistence on empowerment, etc) One thing I was absolute about was cheating or lying. (It’s an officer thing) I told them that it was a very big deal for me, that I would go to almost any length to avoid calling someone a cheat or a liar, because once I did, it was over - they might keep coming to class, and they might still take advantage of the instruction, and I would grade their tests for them, but as far as any professional relationship between teacher and student, there would be none at all.

Quite a number of students liked this from the outset, but there were always plenty of kids who many thought I was coming from another planet, and it always amazed me how many there were. I told them gently that I didn’t think less of them for that, many of them came from families who were in business (sales especially) and different occupations have different dharmas. But this was mine, and it applied to education too, so that was that.

So the point of that was that there are lots of people in the world who see nothing really wrong with lying, and probably do a lot of it to get by.

When it’s good. very good. When it’s bad, it’s horrid.

“A few years ago I carried out a national survey into lying, focusing on adults. Only 8% of respondents claimed never to have lied. Other work has invited people to keep a detailed diary of every conversation that they have, and of all of the lies that they tell, over a two-week period. The results suggest that most people tell about two important lies each day, that a third of conversations involve some form of deception, that four in five lies remain undetected, that more than 80% of people have lied to secure a job, and that more than 60% of the population have cheated on their partners at least once.”
