gender stereotypes
Gender stereotypes refer to socially constructed beliefs and expectations that prescribe certain characteristics, roles, and behaviors for individuals based on their perceived gender, often reinforcing traditional binary notions of masculinity and femininity. These stereotypes can perpetuate prejudices, limit opportunities, and dictate how individuals should think, feel, and act based on their gender, rather than recognizing the diversity and fluidity of gender identities.
