Depeding on the stereotype some are justifiable while others are pain out offensive. For example, saying that a woman’s place is the kitchen where she can cook and clean, is offensive. But saying that it is a woman’s job to “nuture” a child is justifiable. This is justifiable because the belief of many men is that the only way a child can learn something is through experience. One example is when children try to stick their fingers in electrical outlets. A mother would tell the child not to do it, while the father would tell the child to go ahead and do, laugh, then ask them if they are ever going to do it again.
