Internet surveys: confirming again that gender stereotypes are bullshit.
This is what I came away from it feeling, too. It's kind of a wake-up call... I didn't really think a lot of these stereotypes were still taken seriously by experts. It's no wonder so many guys are getting feminine results, it basically just means admitting to feelings and emotions instead of being a dominant loner.
Ww-wha o_O It's not actually taken seriously, when 'seriously' means 'literally as is'. It can be used as a point of reference as to the current happenings given how in many societies, due to shifts over generations there have been emphasis based on superficial characteristics as to certain characteristics in turn (ie Strength; biologically male; some culture characteristics around emphasis of strength, etc...)
Maybe it appears common in general society due to how communication works and such, in the social setting.
I don't necessarily see how.
Because trying to analyse real people by applying stereotypes is retarded, probably
Yes.
Always remember that in technical terms, a stereotype is a GENERALIZED bunch of ideas similar in category. "Similar" in this respect is contextually bound, and doesn't necessarily mean 'similar in a holistic sense', but more along how the concept is characterized. People, of course, are a LOT more complex, deep, and not able to be defined so superficially
Stereotypes are studied under cognitive development in how we conceptualize the world around us.
But using stereotypes along won't even bring you close to actually getting to know people.

Tiny query: How come we don't have a 'what does Hilary Clinton think' to be alongside Trump? Seems like we're working with humor with top American candidates so...any link on that point? :O
