Should Gender Stereotypes be challenged?

[Ben Davis]

So it seems you're strong for challenging stereotypes.
How exactly would you advice someone to go about this? To challenge these stereotypes, that is.

Mainly I encourage people not to use them. If they're not propagated, they'll die. In a conversation, I'll explain why, in context, a stereotype doesn't hold water and the ramifications of using it; pointing out the flaws & harms then trusting to human empathy/good nature to lead the person to understand the point. I also try to lead by example by not using stereotypes. I don't find it difficult, maybe because I'm a unique-enough individual
