Just sayin'.
People with autism are stigmatized to the point where we have a prime time hit TV show dedicated to making fun of us.
And women were stigmatized since the dawn of civilization.
It is still something of an insult:
" you run like a girl "
or calling a male by a female name or calling him a "bitch";
it's still an insult to be female.
TV stigmatized women for a long time;
we were either the dumb/slutty blonde, the girl next door, the ball-busting feminist, the docile housewife, a tease, a golddigger, etc.
