My firm opinion is people are people, and while there are social gender trends that have some validity, to judge any person, regardless of their gender, based on a stereotype is to do a disservice.

I assume all men and women are mature, intelligent, responsible and empathetic people until or unless they prove me wrong.

At least, that's my ideal. I fall short sometimes, but that is what I try for. I am proven right a decent amount of the time for both genders and all inbetween. :)
