How is unclogging a toilet a stereotype ?

Or - let me guess - you don’t think women can do so, thereby playing into your own stereotpe ?

Note that I neither said nor implied any gender, since the usual tool to perform the deed is not gender specific.

You, stuck in a rut, fell into the trap. And that’s why stereotypes are often useless.

“You, stuck in a rut, fell into the trap. And that’s why stereotypes are often useless.”

You are so busy screaming, you don’t have time to think or read. The stereotype I referred to is the “educated moron”. Once again, stereotypes are not limited to race or gender.

In fact, the unclogging toliet is another stereotype. The stereotype that only someone willing to do work, in this case decidedly unglamorous work, is capable of discriminating thought.

Here’s a hint, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
