I'm just tired of paying attention to such things every day, and the conclusion suggests itself, why do we accept so many different new technologies and similar new things, thoughts. But are we holding on to stereotypes of thinking so tightly? I didn't dwell on this issue before, but after life presented me with a test (and I still managed to close my lips and turn around), I began to pay attention to some things from a different angle. And you know what? They are still in place. The same stereotypes, like old tulle on the windows - no one looks anymore, but no one takes it off either. 🙄

Why are there so many stereotypes in modern realities that are outdated? 🧠💣
Because everyone is afraid to seem "not like that". What does - not like that mean? Like Aunt Galina from the 90s, who still dries washed plastic bags? We live in a world where you can fly into space, but you can't just be yourself without worrying about what your relatives will say at a family dinner. People are creating artificial intelligence, and we still measure women by the amount of borscht in the refrigerator. Do you think this is right?

Why is it generally accepted that if a man is divorced, it's like good wine, and a woman after a divorce is already vinegar? 🍷🧂
Oh, this is my favorite paradox. He is experienced, "he just hasn't been with that one yet", and with her "there must be something wrong". And nothing, he doesn't even know how to turn off the washing machine? 🤷🏻‍♀️ A woman after a divorce is like a smartphone with an update. She already knows where something is buggy, and no longer goes into the same programs with zero functionality. So does this make us - women second-rate? No way!

Why is someone still bothered by the age difference? ⏳👫
If he's 42 and she's 28, that's cool. If she's 42 and he's 30, it's "I don't know, she's too old." Listen, love doesn't ask for a passport. If you want age, don't be surprised if your heart is out of place, if your soulmate doesn't fit your stereotypes. And I, for example, appreciate the fact that a person is, first of all, your reflection, and then other aspects, including age.

Why is an experienced woman under the covers necessarily "the one who gets along with everyone"? 🛏🔥
But I have a question... Can't a woman become experienced if she hasn't had many partners? Or maybe she just didn't read the Kama Sutra, but wrote it? Men dream of experience, but then they're horrified that someone else has it. It's like wanting a chef, but complaining that he's constantly improving his own recipe. But maybe I just listened carefully - and remembered what you like. Sorry, but by improving the recipe, I turned into a pro.

Why do they still think that a woman should “do everything” and not forget to dye her eyelashes? 👩🏻‍🍳💄⏰
We have to work, teach, support, be creative, remain desirable, smell nice, be cheerful and even wash the dishes (with a smile, yes). And if something went wrong - “well, she just couldn’t keep her husband”. Are you ready to make the same sacrifices as a woman for the sake of a family-friendly home? 🤦‍♀️

💡 Conclusion:
Stereotypes do not collapse on their own - they need help. Don’t live with them, but break them, talk about them out loud. And then we will start not to make excuses, but to create our own rules and enjoy life!
