Answer:Gender role Socialization

Explanation:

Summary Gender Socialization

Socially there are different expectations for different gender. Gender socialization then refers to how boys and girls are treated differently in a social setting which is influenced by their upbringing and even by the educational background.

Boys are brought up to conform to particular expected male roles whilst females have to abide by their own gender roles. A gender role refers to attitudes, personality and behavior that are mostly associated with a particular gender. For example it used to be a foreign thing to have male nurse because it was associated with female gender. This gender stereotypes are still there even today where you see man still dominates high authority positions and women are found in lower positions.
