\"Men are insensitive\", \"Women are bad drivers\", \"All men love sports and sex<\/a>\", \"All women love shopping and gossiping\" and the list\u00a0goes on...<\/p>

You have probably heard this at least once or maybe even more than once in your daily lives. \u00a0All these stereotypes<\/a> about the differences between men and women are ubiquitous in our society and have ultimately inspired many authors.<\/p>

Recently, we came across a real witty and caustic approach to the subject and that was done through colourful pictograms illustrated in the book \"MAN MEETS WOMAN\"<\/em><\/strong> by Beijing-born, Berlin-based designer, Yang Liu.<\/p>

The clich\u00e9s<\/a> come from everywhere - work, home, parenthood, even from bed<\/a> - and it is through her book, that Yang Liu sought\u00a0to share her playful take on this topic.\u00a0She said \"With this little book I would like to present a visual documentary of my personal views on the subject of communication between men and women. I thereby hope to be able to encourage all of us to approach this subject with a little more\u00a0humour\u00a0and, in our daily interactions, to look at and\u00a0think about things from the viewpoint of the opposite sex.\"<\/em><\/p>

Now enough talking, let's take a look at the images. Unsurprisingly, the green pictograms are for men and the pink ones, of course, for women.<\/p>
