Sex Roles and Discrimination
Find out how biology, environment, expectations, and media interact to influence our perceptions and stereotypes about sex differences. This topic balances questions that both men and women often have such as: “Can I be a feminist if I want my boyfriend to open doors for me?” “How does the wage gap affect men?” and “What discriminations and stereotypes to men face?”
