Stereotypes and prejudices are harmful because they ignore the fact that each individual has his or her own abilities, strengths, weaknesses, desires, thoughts and feelings. Our sex and gender are part of who we are, but these characteristics do not define us. Even if a stereotype is correct in a specific situation, putting someone down or acting in a discriminatory way does not encourage that individual to succeed.
