I am trying to do a outline but cant find the topic or thesis in (This question expresses a commonly held (by women) negative stereotype about guys of the male gender, which is that they cannot find things around the house, especially things in the kitchen. Many women believe that if you want to hide something from a man, all you have to do is put it in plain sight in the refrigerator, and he will never, ever find it, as evidenced by the fact that a man can open a refrigerator containing 463 pounds of assorted meats, poultry, cold cuts, condiments, vegetables, frozen dinners, snack foods, desserts, etc., and ask, with no irony whatsoever, ``Do we have anything to eat?'') where is the introduction and thesis

Are you calling this the whole introduction?

This question expresses a commonly held (by women) negative stereotype about guys of the male gender, which is that they cannot find things around the house, especially things in the kitchen. Many women believe that if you want to hide something from a man, all you have to do is put it in plain sight in the refrigerator, and he will never, ever find it, as evidenced by the fact that a man can open a refrigerator containing 463 pounds of assorted meats, poultry, cold cuts, condiments, vegetables, frozen dinners, snack foods, desserts, etc., and ask, with no irony whatsoever, "Do we have anything to eat?"

The first sentence is the most general, and is the only one that comes close to a thesis statement. The other sentences contain details. However, to me, this is not an introduction for a whole essay or paper. It could be one of the interior (body) paragraphs, but it doesn't fit the pattern of an introduction.

... much of this "paragraph" has been plagiarized -- or else you copied it from somewhere without giving its source. That's plagiarism ... not a good idea.

To find the introduction and thesis in the given passage, let's break it down and identify the relevant parts.

The introduction is usually the beginning of an essay or outline that provides background information and context for the topic. In this passage, the introduction can be found in the first sentence: "This question expresses a commonly held (by women) negative stereotype about guys of the male gender."

Next, let's identify the thesis statement. A thesis statement is the main idea or argument that the essay or outline aims to convey. In this passage, the thesis statement can be found towards the end: "Many women believe that if you want to hide something from a man, all you have to do is put it in plain sight in the refrigerator, and he will never, ever find it."

So, in summary:

Introduction: "This question expresses a commonly held (by women) negative stereotype about guys of the male gender."

Thesis statement: "Many women believe that if you want to hide something from a man, all you have to do is put it in plain sight in the refrigerator, and he will never, ever find it."

Now that we have identified the introduction and thesis, you can use this information to create an outline for your essay or presentation.
