Sirius, at the best of times I'm dirtier than all my guy friends... it's just when my dad and all his friends start going that i try to rip out my eardrums....

**Molly Prewett** March 10th 2010, 8:19 am

that's what she said jokes actually aren't popular in Australia. well, maybe they are in high schools, but not with anyone I know....

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:20 am

[Then that doesn't coun as stereotypical, it counts as your dad....I would like to point out, all of your arguements fail(tam, not just you, everybody posting)]

[*doesn't remember the original question*]

**Draco Malfoy** March 10th 2010, 8:22 am

it doesn't fail when it's my dad, all of his friends and all the guys in my school! And as far as I know I'm the only girl who laughs/ joins in...

[What exactly is a stereotypical guy...]

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:23 am

[I'm going to pick on girls now...
Have you guys noticed almost every single guy gets along when girls are always bitches to eachother...]

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:23 am

sorry, sirius, but i think that you should check up on the definition of the word stereotype before you say that.

1 a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

we never said that stereotypes are truths. but you know as well as i do that boys feel sort of pressured into going along with certain stereotypes--the tough guy, the hot guy, etc., which, although stereotypes may or may not carry truth in them, merely reinforces them.

I actually haven't noticed that....not since middle school at least.

[Sirius, it's because girls have standards Smile

and we're picky and mean... also society has told us we can't fist-fight so we have to resort to bitchiness]

[well it changes in response to whatever a particular society and culture requires of a gender in a specific time. and there's different facets of masculinity that come into play in different roles and times so the "stereotypical guy" in one moment might be the guy who plays sports and video games and acts like a tool with all his mates, and the next minute it'll be the guy who runs the household/is head of family.... and I'm just gonna go put the historian back in it's box.... sorry, I'll shut up now Embarassed

[Sirius, you are the stereotypical guy at my school... sorry honey! you aren't an original...]

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:30 am

[Well then I don't get how the stereotypical guy is a bad thing...]

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:33 am

I would need to know you to be able to really look at you as a person, Sean.
Plus, I don't mean stereotype in the way that every person has a stereotype. I'm talking about stereotypes in the more general sense: the sort of invisible pressure that says, you know what, don't do x, y, and z--i guess more of the conformity stereotypes. I'm not implying that there is anything wrong with not going along with these stereotypes, in fact, I think that it takes a braver, better person to do that, just that being aberrant is, by definition, less common than not.
Oh, and two things about definitions: 1. you need to know what words mean. Dictionaries are good for that, don't deny it and 2. Argument is always based on fact. Fact, at an extremely simple level, can be found in the dictionary. There is no room to doubt that, only room to build off of it.

And bytheway, you start on girls, you will lose whatever argument you're getting yourself into. I'm completely a feminist, and am also very stubborn.

**Draco Malfoy** March 10th 2010, 8:34 am

hahaha.. because most of them are not harry potter fans, not good looking, and have very very little discernible personality... at least not one that is worth anything

**Draco Malfoy** March 10th 2010, 8:36 am

I must say that I am not a discriminating person.... I'll pick on anyone and everyone! Equally and fairly, I have plenty of hate and rage to go around!

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:36 am

[Did you notice I gave one arguement then gave up, I remembered never to argue with a girl...unless you want a really bad headache and useless information floating around your head. Which is why I quit! *puts up arms* I surrender.]

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:38 am

we have no idea whether sirius is good looking.
i'm either gonna assume that he's not, or is very young, which is why he had to resort to using a picture of a model.
I'm leaning towards him being young, though. You can tell from the way he talks:)
-feels like a detective-

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:38 am

-is deciding whether to get mad at you again for generalizing girls the way that you are-

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:39 am

[A) that is me, I repeat think what you want, I really don't care. B) I turned 18 like 2 weeks ago if thats what you call young.]

Guest March 10th 2010, 8:41 am

oh i love you sirius.
you're cracking me up with your silly arguments.
hehe whatever i'm fine with just saying that's you if you really want us to think that...
sigh.
