Gender stereotyping in Romeo and Juliet

There is one big gender stereotype that is used in the Romeo and Juliet movie/book and that is that women are weaker then men. An example of this is when the Montague boys and  Capulet boys are fighting, and the women are shown as weak fragile people by making them run away and hitting one of the boys with a handbag. Another stereotype is Juliet"s mother. She is portrayed as a bitchey women that screams a majority of the time and is quite annoying.
