Гендерные стереотипы

Автор - Саша Милый (я очень рад, что нашёл такого интересного автора, посвящается shaherezada , кстати, материал отчасти в продолжение предыдущего ) В российской армии давно существует анекдотическая особенность, когда призывники мусульмане отказываются от мытья полов, объясняя что это унижает их мужское достоинство.
