Gender Socialization
Gender Socialization is a very controversial topic, but I am going to discuss and tell you how females are socialized because of their gender and what is expected of them.

Now girls in preschool the teachers loved us, we were polite, obedient, but we had a stricter dress code. Girls are put on a higher pedestal than boys and they have higher expectations. Even careers are gender socialized because nurses are expected to be women when you see them and the doctors are always
