I went to attempt on the survey but I can't think of anything to fill up. Maybe you can start by giving us certain examples of stereotypes of men. |

I am writing an essay for my English class about the stereotypes of men in the US, and I need your help for some research. If you could fill out this short survey, I would really appreciate it. Although this is mostly aimed at people in the US, I would like to get views from other countries also. Thank you for your help! Here is the survey. |

@Carrot: Stereotypes like men have to be strong, that men that act/talk a certain way are gay, etc. |

I'd fill it out but it doesn't seem like a very good survey. Won't everyone's answers be pretty much the same? The stereotypes are sort of defined in our society (emotionless, strong, etc.) It isn't even much of a survey, really. Maybe if it asked questions to determine people's personal expectations of what men should be like or something, it would work. But as it is, it seems pretty pointless. What are you even trying to figure out? |

What questions would you suggest I ask? I am trying to write an essay about what the stereotypes of men in the US are, how they affect people (both men and women), and why they need to eradicated from our society. I was kind of stuck for what questions to use, so if you have some good ideas, I will gladly change the survey. |

All you need is start a thread on what aspects of a man that a woman hates. You'll start seeing stereotypes of men appearing in that thread, I assure you. |

I want to do this more organized than starting a flame war and observing. |

what do you mean by strong? i know some gay guys from the gym that are physically stronger than i am, but mentally they are super gay. as in afraid of spiders in their home. |

I would suspect that there are a lot of common stereotypes but that people from different backgrounds and areas also probably have different ones as well. Since the internet reaches a huge area, you are likely to get a lot of different results and if he gets a lot of similar answers it gives him ones to focus on. |

Gay as in sissy boy. And yes, you're a sissy boy if you're afraid of a spider. period |
|
@greenhavoc: I have a friend who acts gay, or what you think of as gay, but is not gay. I also have a friend who does not act gay, but actually is. It's the kind of stereotypes you are saying that I am trying to address in my essay. Also, I am afraid of spiders (a lot less now than before), and I am not gay. |

What does acting gay look like? |

I don't know what acting gay or straight looks like, that is partially what I would like to find from this survey. I have asked people why they think he is gay (and why they also sometimes say I am gay). Their only response is "he/you act like your gay." According to you, being afraid of spiders is part of acting gay. I know my fear of spiders is irrational, but I don't think one irrational fear means I'm a "sissy." |

That's a flat out lie and you know it. Surely you must have some idea of your own, or you wouldn't have made this comment: |

You're right, I do know what acting gay looks like. It's acting like you like guys, since liking guys is what being gay is. I also know I am not gay, and I have no idea why people think I am. You are truly the only person I've heard say that being afraid of spiders is gay, but if it's a stereotypes you know of, I would be glad to have you list it on this survey. Also, being afraid of some spiders, like the black widows, hobos, and brown recluses, isn't completely irrational or trivial, since they can kill or injure you (this talk of spiders is getting a little off topic, so I'll leave it there). |

So you're saying you have a friend that pretends to like guys, but he really doesn't? |

Only one person has filled in the survey, and this argument is going nowhere, so I will leave it at that and bid you good day sir. |
