Gender Socialization is the process by which males and females are informed about the norms and behaviors associated with their sex.
Differences between "sex and gender"
Sex: Is what you were born with (biological)
Gender: Is learned through the social rules that are assigned to your biological sex. (Masculinity and Feminism)
An important part of socialization is the learning culturally defined gender roles. Gender socialization refers to the learning of behavior and attitudes considered appropriate for a given sex.
For example: Boys learn to be boys and girls learn to be girls. (Boys only play with toy trucks and girls only play with barbie dolls.
