[Solution]What is gender bias?

One example of intentional gender bias is when girls are explicitly taught by family members or peers to behave differently than boys—in terms of activities they are allowed to participate in, clothing they should wear, opinions they should have and expectations for their future success—all due to their sex rather than any other factor such as ability or personality traits. Another example would be employers refusing to hire women for certain roles because they assume they wouldn’t be able to perform the same duties as men; this form of discrimination is illegal under Title VII civil rights laws throughout the United States but still occurs regularly due to long-held social norms about women’s capabilities relative to men’s.

Unintentional gender bias refers more broadly to how society views men and women through implicit biases – those hidden beliefs we may not even be aware we hold that still make us subconsciously prejudiced towards one sex over another. For instance, when discussing jobs traditionally associated with masculinity – like engineering or plumbing – it isn’t uncommon for people (even well-meaning ones) to refer exclusively using male pronouns such as “he” or “him” instead of being inclusive with language by saying things like “they”; this reinforces a stereotype that these types of jobs are only meant for men which could discourage female workers from pursuing them even if there were no discriminatory policies in place explicitly barring them from doing so.

Gender bias further manifests itself through unequal opportunities available for certain genders within a given field – where one might find numerous opportunities open up specifically targeting male applicants while similar openings geared towards females remain few and far between – as well as through pay gaps wherein companies pay male employees more than female personnel despite having the same qualifications on paper (or sometimes even better credentials). The lack of visibility provided to female professionals compared with males also contributes significantly towards our perception about who succeeds at what job roles/career paths which can ultimately lead us away from considering positions held predominantly by women when making hiring decisions (e.g., administrative assistant vs executive secretary). All these examples highlight just how pervasive gender biases truly are across many areas today despite immense progress being made in recent years towards greater equality among sexes.

The economic effects resulting from gender biases can have major ramifications beyond simply creating unfairness—it reduces economic growth potential hugely since women represent half the workforce yet don’t receive full recognition nor equal pay opportunities regardless if they deserve them just like any other person out there regardless of what sex you identify with! Discrimination against particular groups has been shown time again throughout history so let’s hope now finally we’ll move forward into realizing everyone should get an equal chance at achieving success without having predetermined roadblocks put up along way just because someone was born into different body type/gender identity then another person nearby..
