Women are meant for the Kitchen Only

Even though women have been trying to prove this stereotype wrong, there are still some men who would prefer that their wives should not work but to stay at home to do the house chores and take care of the children. Women are humans too, and all humans have a quest they search for especially to make money and make life better. Women should be allowed to pursue her own dreams and have her own career, in that way, she can be the helper God talked about in the Bible.
All Mothers - In law are Bad

I don't know about others but this stereotype is everywhere and I blame it on the movies they produce. Since I was a child, I have always thought that mothers - in law were wicked because of the movies I watched then. I think they portray more of the wicked part and this has made people think that mothers in - laws are wicked. I heard a lady asking her date "Is your mother still alive? I wouldn't want to go through the mother in - laws drama you know". It's funny how she just concluded without even meeting his mother. Well, not all mother in - laws are bad.
Male Child is better than a Female Child

While I was growing up, I witnessed families break up just because the wife couldn't birth a male child for the family. People value male children to female children. Most of male children were opportune to go to school but the female children were made to do the house chores and learn how to be a wife even at a very young age, my grand mum was one of those girls. It's a wrong stereotype and I am glad that the world is leaving such stereotype behind.
True Love Doesn't Exist

The world has so changed that people now believe less in finding true love especially in my country, Nigeria. People date for fun and the pleasure it gives, not even wishing to find true love as they feel they will be chasing the air. Well, I will say "True love may not exist but you can build a true love and be happy" You just have to chose to love and be loved.
What A Man Can Do, A Woman Can Do Better
This saying has become so popular and normal that almost everybody says it. Well, I don't totally agree with this stereotype as I feel that men and women have their own way of doing things better in their own different ways. Men can't carry a baby for nine months just as women also can't impregnate themselves to have babies. I believe a man can do better at what he does and a woman can do better at what she does. There shouldn't be such saying at all.
I could go on and on about so many stereotypes going on around us but I will stop at five and I leave it open for more of them at the comment section. This is my entry for the contest organized by
