Hello Bloggers, I am gonna tell you about Gender Stereotypes.
Definition: A stereotype is “...a fixed, over generalised belief about a particular group or class of people.
Gender stereotyping refers to the practice of ascribing to an individual woman or man specific attributes, characteristics, or roles by reason only of her or his membership in the social group of women or men.
In 1918, women could not inherit property on the same terms as men. The Law of Property Act 1922 changed that and meant a husband and wife could inherit each other's property. Legislation passed four years later meant women could finally hold and dispose of property on the same terms as men.
In social psychology, a stereotype is an over-generalised belief about a particular category of people. It is an expectation that people might have about every person of a particular group. The type of expectation can vary; it can be, for example, an expectation about the group's personality, preferences, or ability.
A gender role, also known as a sex role, is a social role encompassing a range of behaviours and attitudes that are generally considered acceptable, appropriate, or desirable for a person based on that person's biological or perceived sex.
