Gender Difference Theory

Gender Difference Theory suggests that some differences between men and women in behavior and preferences stem from social and cultural influences rather than solely biological factors. It recognizes that societal expectations shape how each gender thinks, feels, and acts, leading to variations in communication styles, interests, and roles. While acknowledging biological aspects, the theory emphasizes that many differences are learned through socialization, presenting gender as a spectrum influenced by environment, upbringing, and cultural norms. It aims to understand how gender-related behaviors develop and how society can foster equality by challenging stereotypes.
