[edit] Spankable nurse

User:Mdwh removed a link I added here and called it spam. The link was to a free program, created with opensource software and was a perfect illustration for this areticle's topic. In what universe is that considered spam? see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nurse_stereotypes&diff=81637329&oldid=81636854

See Talk:Erotic spanking#Spankable nurse for discussion on this. Mdwh 21:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First Line

I'd like to poll people's thoughts about the placement of the first line in the article, describing the harmful effects of the nurse stereotype.
I agree with the sentiment of the line, and believe it should be in the article. But I also think the article (or any article) should should first define and explain it's subject, in this case Nurse Stereotypes. Starting right off with this single line gives the article an odd flow.
I would suggest moving the line farther down, but am leery of the reaction, as people may think I want to minimize or dismiss the the harmful effects of the stereotype. That would not be my sentiment at all. Anybody else want to chime in on this? --Bridgecross 21:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd support your assertion that a definition (such as that in the section headed "background", should come first. It could also be argued that the stereotypes could have positive effects (even if not by many).— Rod talk 21:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
