Gender stereotypes

[greenie_breizh]

I am trying to get all the midterms out of the way by the end of this weekend so that next week I can focus on my thesis, and I'm doing pretty good, but some of the stuff I am writing so often that it's starting to drive me crazy.

In spite of that, I still like how concise and effective this definition is:

Gender stereotypes are widely held

Oh, I like the descriptive/prescriptive part of that definition <3. Very to the point.

So, I'm not sure I got it, that's a definition you read in a paper you had to grade?

[greenie_breizh]

It's actually the definition by which I am marking them - so ideally, what they should say. :)

Oh, ok. I hope you read it often.
Though I think one of the reasons (next to my brain being off)I had trouble with this post was that you wrote "ome of the stuff I am writing so often". Shouldn't that be "I am reading so often"? Or did I really get everything confused.
It's a good definition, btw.

When the students get the definition wrong, or only partially right (or phrase it awkwardly), I often write the correct one in the margin, so students know how they should have said it. :) It was probably not very clear unless you're in the midst of doing, sorry. ;)
