Women Can't Park, Men Can't Pack: The Psychology of Stereotypes

by Geoff Rolls

Does shoe size predict penis size? Are oysters an aphrodisiac? Do redheads have fiery tempers? Are stepmothers wicked? Do politicians lie? Answering these and many other questions with an engaging mixture of humor and psychological insight, this book takes psychology to the battle of the sexes and beyond by examining the truths and misconceptions behind the stereotypes that we often take for granted. Author and psychology lecturer Geoff Rolls reveals why so many people are afraid of clowns, why cavemen preferred blondes, and the surprising trends regarding the name Wayne. Clever, compelling, and often surprising, this is the perfect book for anyone who wants to find out more about why we believe the things we do.

The title attracted me. When I started reading through the pages, it was interesting to know the amount of studies and it's types around some stereotypes and that most are fake. Eye opening to myself and a reminder to experiment the situation before giving a judgement
