What i can reflect from this is the real difference between the meaning of sex and gender, as well as what a stereotype actually is and how they are made. The initial difference between sex and gender is that your sex is what you are biologically given, so whether you are literally male or female. However your gender is more based on society and how you portray yourself to others, for example you could be female but portray yourself as a boy. So you speak, act and dress like a boy would therefore making you a 'tomboy' which is the name that has stereo typically been given to people who portray themselves in this way to society.
A stereotype is a generalized idea or statement based on a subject made by an individual or society. For example in society, women are seen as weak minded and should be domestic and men are seen as both physically and mentally strong.
