10. Bimbo/Helpless Nurse
If some men don’t want a seductress or a porn nurse, they may enjoy spending time with Nurse Bimbo. Of course, Nurse Bimbo looks a lot like Sexy Nurse, but Nurse Bimbo needs help walking and chewing gum at the same time. The bimbo stereotype hits nurses two ways: questioning the nurse’s ability and sexualizing the nurse.

So, do you think there’s any hope of getting rid of these stereotypes? Or do we just need to get a dose of that sense of humor people say we lack when we complain?
