So I don't think the problem is with stereotyping-- it's with people who do it badly, and for the wrong reasons. Gits are gits, no matter what ideas are going through their gitty little heads.
That may all be true, but if essence precedes existence our sex is an illusion that is formed to match after the fact. This would be what stereotypes are all about. So it can now be said that they serve as a social hormone trigger to be masculine in males and effeminate in females with the purpose to procreate the Being who set us free to think inside these opposites with the neuter in between that would be called man, with human and woman being the polar opposites that are needed to procreate this man.

Sorry, my bad. Didn't mean to twist your words, it's just the inexcusable fact that I only skimmed the rest of your post.
Maybe he is thinking sandwiching here.

What's that even supposed to mean? Can you come again, using interpunctation and meaningful terms?
The gist I got is man and woman are suited to fuck and that sometimes results in babies. Wow, great, as if this isn't how nature worked for countless millions of years. It doesn't explain stereotyping though.

Yes, but fuck would be the wrong word for this because we may have learned by now that fuck is just the dirty body-work that does not include conception itself.
Then if you add that life is conceived prior to the sperm, fertility has not much to do with fuck, and this could be why fertility is promising to become an important industry in America today.

My missus and I just naturally confound gender stereotypes - she does most of the gardening, I do most of the housework and all of the cooking. It isn't a conscious choice, it just turns out that we each hate to do what the other one likes. I also play rugby and I sew, while Ellen runs a curio shop filled with frilly, dainty, girlie things (for the most part) and holds a graduate rank in Krav Maga.
Lots more things of that nature. We each do what we like and what we're suited for. *shrug*
