What are some stereotypes about men and women you've heard (or even grown up with) and what ones do you agree or disagree with?

Inspired by this Fluther discussion.

“Boys are smarter than girls.” I grew up with that one as a kid on the playground in the 60’s. It seemed illogical to me then, but before I really had to deal with it as an adult, “Women’s Lib” started turning that $#!+ around in the 70’s. It’s still an unspoken belief among many men of my generation, but they sure don’t voice it like they would had Women’s Lib not happened. They’re just not really so sure any more, but it’s still there, ingrained in so many ways into their brains when they were young, and they still fall back on it today, subtly, when challenged. To many experiences to even get in to…..

So, that’s my opening donation.
