Oh of course there are stereotypes. I have a degree in Women's and Gender Studies, and a degree in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Studies. When a man claims he is a feminist, typically he gets praised because he's an awesome modern man that believes in equality. But typically when a woman says she's a feminist, people think she's some man-hating lesbian. The concept of being a feminist is, in itself, a paradox.
