There is little more I hate then gender stereotypes. Especially this absurdity that women don't like sex, but only want marriage, and men only want sex and never want marriage. My personal experiences have almost always been the exact reverse of this. And, it pleased and astounded me to learn that a couple hundred years ago, these stereotypes were exactly opposite of what they are today. (Women of course were still painted as BAD because they couldn't contain their lust, and men as GOOD because they were more tempered and rational....so, other and similar can of worms but still.)
