I don't think we have to worry about men being taking off juries or anything, but gender stereotypes bother me a lot, too. There are more variations among men and other men and women and other women than between the two sexes (or genders). There are certainly some big generalizations that are true overall, but those get over-applied so much.
Here's a good illustration, I think: I have period cramps that drop me to my knees and a tattoo I got over a bone hurt way less than my monthly pain beat-down. Does that mean you do, too (to the ladies, clearly)? I have friends who would be terribly offended if someone pitied them during their period, because it's nothing at all, while I accept chocolates and drugs and any comfort anyone has to offer, lol
And that's a purely physical example. Psychology gets much, much more complex.
bobloblaw, it is offensive if people think "men on the jury" might be aroused by her during trial. I heard Dr Drew suggest that and JA's magic underwear dude nearly took his head off for that. Good for him.
Dr Drew over-applies a lot of things he's read, but that's a whole 'nother rant. (I do say a whole 'nother, btw!
)
