The existence of stereotypes is not important. It's what we do with them.
Women are, on average, not as physically-strong as men. This is how we justify gender discrimination in sports. It doesn't matter that an individual woman might have all the physical prowess and training to play on their level. It doesn't matter that she might be a better quarterback than Tom Brady or hit more long 3s than Larry Bird. Because she has a vagina, she's automatically disqualified. All other things being equal, the parts in your pants are all that actually matters to a lot of people.
That's stupid and wrong.
