Elizabeth mentioned that it is not fair (or good) to stereotype to Andy.
"It's okay if this sort of thing happened to you, it doesn't make you any less of a man."
That's from trouble to Andy - what could be More stereotyping than "less of a man"?
Also,
..."and I'm like there there baby whatever's gotten into you isn't about me then handed him the phone book to watch him tear in half, tho I'm really gonna MISS that phonebook, dagnabbit, by now the 2 of us might die laughing, depending on whether he sees the joke in these ironman standards men are held to, you can get lost in there and I don't like losing what's rightfully mine to some dehumanizing standard of masculinity that's done nothing for him but fuck with his heart."
If we're going to use a broad cencept of what others might take offensively, this Has to fit in there. I'm sure some men prefer "ironman standards" and some women prefer using their "womenly wiles." How in heavens name is a man acting manly, dehumanizing?
