Line 169:
* [[Useful Notes/Mixed Martial Arts|Mixed Martial Arts]] fighter Rashad Evans used this against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson during the hype going into their fight.
* One interesting example of this was BET's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgcZNpmOKuk&feature=related Read A Book](semi-NSFW version linked) music video, advising the network's viewers to read books, buy land, and drink water. One news network, for their segment, gathered a group of non-Stereotypical black people for a focus group who said the content of the video worried them. Specifically, [[Animation Age Ghetto|they were worried that kids might see it]]. The network apparently didn't inform them that it aired on a programming block kids shouldn't be watching anyway.
* Many [[Rated MforM for Manly|manly men]] are proud of the male stereotype and are baffled by other men who try to deny the stereotype or view it as being negative. They'll even take offense to women who give men the "benefit of the doubt" and ''don't'' assume that the stereotype applies to all men. "So, in other words, you don't like men to be men?" The increasingly common phrase this group use is the "pussification of men".
** ''The Terror Dream'', Susan Faludi explores how the media used the September 11, 2001 attacks to promote this stereotype.
* Women have gender-wide stereotypes as well, but are often more divided over what those stereotypes are and whether or not they're good or bad.
