The mask we live in gender clip

I can't find a link for this on my iPad but if you search on YouTube for The mask you live in, it's the trailer for The Representation Project. The phrases we use and their implicature shape behaviour and can create damaging cultural expectations of our children. 'Man up', 'that's not very ladylike', 'that's ballsy' etc. how many more can we collect that have those gender stereotypes behind them. Please comment on this post and say, if you can, the context you heard or read it in (obviously name no names).
