The media has a huge impact on the stereotypes we place on men and women. The media shows the man as the one who has to do anything difficult. In school this means that the guy is expected to get the right answers and be a sports star. In the workplace it means that the guy has to come up with all the spectacular ideas. This is a bad attitude to have for both men and women because it puts too much pressure on men and it make women feel like they can't succeed. There are stereotypes when people are shopping too. Store keepers think that a man coming into a store is more likely to steel something than a woman.
