There are many phrases that connote stereotypes and are derogatory. One that I often hear directed towards women is, “Geez, it must be that time of the month!” This reveals two stereotypes: if a woman is menstruating, she must be cranky; and vice-versa, if a woman is cranky, she must be menstruating. No thought is given to the other possible factors, or even to the possibility that perhaps the female in question is being assertive and isn’t cranky at all!
