Gender is a social construct and inherently malleable and subjective, which permits infinite diversity. Therefore, all claimed differences are inaccurate stereotypes.
When people talk about gender stereotypes, they’re not usually saying “every man is like this!” or “every woman does that!”
Its more, “here’s a general trend I have seen in this group of people, the majority being categorised neatly within this gender range, amongst this diaspora of people, within this socioeconomic band.”
But people dont explicitly say that, because they assume that others know what they mean.
It can be. Italians expressing themselves through their hands; Germans doing the socks and sandals; Welsh and Arabs having throaty names; Greek beards vs Turkish moustaches; I can go on…
The point where it stops being funny is when it’s actively used to keep said groups down.
But as banter between friends of equal stature? Hilarious.

“all claimed differences” pls no
i am fine with you claiming that there should be no difference when is comes to humor (i disagree, but thats your opinion)
But please leave the differences when it comes to medicine/psychology…
There are a lot of things that booth share but there are definetly some differences that should not be underestimated
like how medicine was mostly made for men before they noticed that women are not small men
I would even say that trans people who dont like their born gender should be upfront about their transition with all their doctors
You’re mixing up gender with sex
the words have the same meaning in my language so you are right
sorry for being mean over this mix up
