People Online Are Tired Of Explaining Why These 40 Widely Believed Stereotypes Are Wrong

That old people are out of touch. Some are. Some aren't. Some are way cooler than you.

One of the stereotypes I hate most about women, is that people assume that all women want children, that it's in their biology and they are naturally born mothers.

That certain animal 'parts' have healing/magical properties. Like tiger whiskers protect the wearer or rhino horn cures impotence and hangovers.

Doing stuff by yourself. Some people here get almost hysterical when they describe eating at a restaurant or seeing a movie by yourself. I guarantee you that if you’re behaving normally, no one else gives the tiniest of s***s if you went out by yourself.

That fast food workers are dumb. Used to work in fast food and realised a good majority of the public are incredibly stupid.

Boomers, hands down. The vast majority of boomers are sweet elderly people who are nice to talk to. Not racist caricatures that spout nonsense all the time.

Chronically ill/disabled people don't exaggerate symptoms for attention. Generally we downplay how much pain we're in.

Women are just “on their period” when they get angry or sad. Like I’m sorry maybe I’m mad because you're an idiot.

Blue-collared jobs sometimes are looked down upon in media, but in reality, skilled trades are often in high demand and well-respected.

Boys playing with dolls (or other traditional feminine toys) will turn them gay. Or that anything will turn people gay or lesbian.

I can't stand the people that think you have to be physically disabled to be disabled. Mental disability is real, and its bs to get told "well you don't looked disabled" when you have to fight every second of the day, pretending to be normal and keep yourself together until you can get home!

That you have even the smallest chance of becoming a billionaire. People don't understand the orders of magnitude difference between even a low level multi-millionaire and a billionaire. At 100 million dollars, you're still 10 times closer to homelessness than you are to becoming a billionaire. Stop trying to get there. Stop voting for people and policy that promise you that opportunity. The only way these people achieve that wealth is through siphoning it away from everyone else.

That we use 10% of our brain. Power or capacity, this was actually proven to be not true.

Men who are nurses. Nobody cares in real life.

I have to say wearing glasses and having braces. No one called me four eyes. No one called me tinsel teeth. Believe me, I was made fun of as a kid, but those weren’t the reasons.

That GMOs are bad. Without GMOs, we wouldn't have a lot of the food we have today.

That if you are not the stereotype of your race then you are trying to act like another race.

I (white) married a black woman so I have a “thing” for black women. I just found a cool person to share my life with, it’s not that deep. I mean, I have a thing NOW, but I wasn’t looking for a black woman going in to dating.

Don't donate to charities at and big stores that ask for you to round up. They take your money, donate it and then THEY deduct it from their taxes. Skip the middle man and donate directly.

That you have to wait 24 hours before filing a missing person report.
