Gender Socialization
Captions available
The idea
Gender socialization is the process by which family, school, peers, and media teach a person their society's gender roles, largely without anyone stating a rule aloud.
In practice
A teacher who calls on boys more often than girls reproduces a gendered expectation without announcing one.
Where people slip
The four agents named here act together; no single one accounts for the whole pattern.
