"A horrific report reveals that the killing toll from the Israeli genocide in #Gaza could reach 186,000, even if the war stops now.

This would amount to 8% of Gaza’s population, considering indirect and undocumented deaths resulting from the Genocide." - Nour Naim

Stereotype - an innocent label?

What is a stereotype? The first thing that comes to mind is that it's just that women can't drive cars, men can't paint their nails and women shouldn't be mechanics. But is it true?

Let's start by explaining what a stereotype is. It simplifies certain facts, giving everything a label and sticking to rigid standards. But honestly, who likes labels? Nobody, they could be harmful. Yes, you can say that every stereotype has its reason, or someone can say "This is what the statistics show." But if we were to believe the statistics, then, for example, when you go for a walk with your dog, statistically, you have three legs each.

A stereotype is a tight envelope that often hurts people. For example, why can't a girl be passionate about car mechanics? According to society, she is immediately considered a "tomboy". Assigning an appropriate gender to a given occupation is nonsense and proof that our society still has problems moving forward and looking outside the box. However, harmful stereotypes are slowly disappearing.

So, are stereotypes accurate? Should we follow them? Maybe next time you want to judge someone based on their gender, think twice. As far as I am concerned, for you, it may be just words, but for the other person, it may be something that stays with them and brings them down

My article for school about gender stereotypes, I'm posting it there 'cause in my view it's important to say that here♥️

From Spider-Suits in video games to Luke Skywalker, fan entitlement can be a toxic source of fan rage, and it's something we need to stop.

I think this article does a good job explaining why some fans hate things.
