Reply #67: It's because that's the stereotype. Men are supposed to be stable.

Women are supposed to be unstable.

If you're still unclear, then think about this. It would be racist to make fun of Obama for the color of his skin or for the texture of his hair. Right? And yet people don't hesitate to make fun of Hillary for having typical female features -- a higher pitched voice and larger hips. Why is that?

It doesn't matter that some men might have a higher pitched voice, too. Is it okay to call Obama "Brillo" just because some white people also have frizzy hair? When I was a kid, that name was used on me, and it wasn't racist, just mean. But if you call a black kid "Brillo" you are being racist. It doesn't matter that frizzy/kinky hair isn't a black-only thing.
