There are so many points I can mention but I think all the stereotypes are same like other male and female living around the world. But I think the major points are almost written by me.

The urban Bangladeshi girls are wearing western dresses, gets education facilities etc. So I got a bit confused what the “Ideal” stereotypes should be!! But suddenly I remembered that the village women are still maintaining the original stereotypes of Bangladeshi woman.
