Why do gay men try to act feminine?
This is a stereotype.
If your cousin calls you a dork is that a stereotype?
No, it is your cousin's uncomplimentary opinion of you. It might be considered an insult. "Stereotype" is when a generalization is applied to all members of a group - like all American Black men are good at sports, or all Asians are studious.
What does breaking gender stereotyping mean?
Answer 1: "Gender" refers to whether a person is male or female. Examples: "Female" is Jane's gender; "male" is Jim's gender."Stereotyping" means to presume that something is true about person because he or she is part of a larger group about which certain things are believed or assumed. While stereotyping may involve prejudice, prejudice is not necessary for stereotyping to occur. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups, or persons in them, based on prior beliefs or assumptions. Example: If Tony is Italian, and from New York, then some people might assume that he might have connections with the Mafia (organized crime; the Cosa Nostra; the "mob"). That's a stereotype... and likely an unfair one... and one that some might consider prejudicial, even pejorative: That italian males from New York are somehow involved with the mob.To break a stereotype, then, means to somehow show that the assumption and image of the stereotype isn't true; to be an example of the stereotype being wrong or false. For example, if the aforementioned Tony becomes a priest, or a police officer, then that would help to break the stereotype, at least in his particular case.A typical gender stereotype would be, for example, that women can't be as good in the workplace as men; and so they shouldn't earn as much money as men, even when they do the same job and work as men. A woman who does just as well as (or better than) men in the same job and doing the same work as men (and who is hopefully paid the same as men) effectively breaks that stereotype.

What are men called If women are called Feminists?
Actually, the word "feminist" does not mean a female. It refers to a person, male or female, who believes in equality for women; it also means a person who believes women have been discriminated against, and wants this to be changed. Throughout history, there have absolutely been men who were feminists. But you are right-- most feminists tend to be women. It should also be noted that the word has been demonized by conservative commentators, who associate it with hating men. Some women who believe in feminism do not want to be called feminists as a result of this unfortunate stereotype. Of course, there are extremists in any social movement, and there may indeed be a small segment of feminists who hate men; however it is not accurate to link all feminists with anti-male attitudes. In fact, the majority of feminists have very positive relationships with men. What feminists hate is prejudice and discrimination. That said, a man who supports feminism can certainly be called a feminist, or he can be described as "egalitarian," one who believes men and women are equal, rather than believing men are superior to women.
Why are feminists lesbian?
Hm? Oh, yes! There's been an ongoing stereotype of feminists not liking men- so they must be lesbian, right? Actually, this isn't really correct. Feminists are against men taking over and oppression of women, but they do still love men more often than not. That said, some definitely are, but they're not always connected.

What is meant by cultural feminism?
While some feminists believe that all differences between men and women are socially constructed, cultural feminists believe that men are women are essentially different and seek to celebrate female difference. Cultural feminists are usually also radical feminists who believe that women are not only essentially different, but in certain ways more evolved than men. For example, cultural feminism tends to celebrate women's love, nurturing abilities, nonviolence, and emotional intelligence and view these traits as female qualities. Non-cultural feminists, on the other hand, believe that cultural feminists are buying into gender stereotypes and argue that there are no such real differences between men and women.
