Enough With Gender Stereotyping

IF you are an ardent reader you probably have come across articles with the following headings:

"10 Things Men Wear That Women Hate"
"8 Things Women Want Men To Do In Bed"
"100 Things Men Absolutely NEVER Want to Hear From Their Women"
"50 Things Men Do That Turn Women Off" 
"16 Things Women Hate Hearing"
"15 Things Men Find Unattractive About Women" 
"30 Things Women Wish Men Knew"
"18 Things Men Wish Women Knew About Sex" 
"22 Things Women Are Sick Of Experiencing"
"40 Things Women Want In A Relationship"
"25 Things Men Should Look For In A Woman" 
"21 Things Women Wish Men Understood "
"13 Things Men Should Never Say To Women"

I've lately been asking myself whether am the only one who is sick of reading or listening about these petty gender differences in the media. As much as advice columnists need to rely on generalization and stereotypes in order to make their case, I just wish the media could stop spreading all these gender stereotypes and do real journalism

When are we going to accept the fact that men are men and women are women and that it's never changed and it is never going to? Men and women are not some sort of monolithic entity.

Any man or woman who expect to always have their way in a relationship is a dreamer and would do him or herself a great favor by remaining single. Relationships are about tolerance and compromise, period.
