But most gender stereotypes are learned

That's modern thinking, and I have come to believe that is mostly wrong. Again with my niece, that girl has spent a considerable amount of time sparring with me. She should know how to fight, but it devolves into a girly slapfest when she's upset. There's core programming she's falling back on, contrary to what she was taught.

A child does not have to be raised by their parents to be affected by stereotypes

Fair point.

I mean...a lot of people devolve into a "girly slapfight" when they're upset. But the costs for men being seen like that are absolutely damning.
