However, the document argues that there is no basis for these stereotypes and that women have proven themselves as capable employees. It concludes that rather than focusing on silly stereotypes, efforts should make new positive stereotypes about both genders, especially women.

We live in a huge world where people`s opinion is significant for us. Before doing something, a person thinks a lot about how others will treat to his or her actions. If a man or a woman does something wrong, here come thoughts that others will do it also bad. These thoughts are called `stereotypes`. What is a `stereotype` at all? A stereotype is the image of a person who uses a stamp formed in accordance with specific social conditions. Let’s take a larger look at this question. First of all, the most popular stereotypes are about genders. Why there are so much attention to women`s fails? For instance: once there was noticed that a woman was driving a car and doing her make-up at the same time. Because of it, now there is an enormous stereotype that women are the worst drivers ever. Moreover, there are other weird stereotypes, such as a woman`s presence on a ship. It is said that if a lady is on a boat, something bad will happen. Of course, women are always guilty. It is so annoying even to think that there are so many silly thoughts. Another nonsense is that women have illogical thinking. From this it turns out that females are not as intelligent as men and can not deal with serious problems or are not able to be big bosses. So it explains why women have to do all the housework and raise children only. Who did come up with this absurd?! As for me, this is the craziest one. Ladies have proven that they are much better employees than men a long time ago. Taking everything into consideration, it can be said that stereotypes are everywhere, but there is no point to pay much attention to it. From my point of view, we should make new positive stereotypes about genders, especially about females since we are quite exhausted of foolish jokes about our sex.
