Gender differences in social behavior attributed to differences in status of men and women. In all known cultures, males are given higher status than women. This superior status is shown in inequalities in jobs held by men and women, the differences in wages they both earn, and the prestige and economic rewards for housework and child rearing. More often than girls, boys are shown using production products (pitchfork, plow, or gun). Girls are show as something that has to be more protected. Gender roles are the tasks and activities a culture assigns to the sexes. Although gender roles are changing, they continue to be projected stereotypically in the socialization process. Gender stereotypes are strongly held about the characteristics of males and females.
