Slide 1
Gender stereotyping means simplistic
generalizations about the gender attributes,
differences, and roles of individuals and/or
groups.
Stereotypes can be positive or negative, but
they rarely communicate accurate information
about others.
*When someone is making a generalization or
classification about something or someone
without a rational basis and relating the reason
on the gender of that person, that is gender
stereotyping.
A very common example, Sino ba ang susunod
sa yapak mo chief? Wala, puro babae yung anak
ko.
Another, in giving gifts to a boy or a girl, girls
usually have dolls, boys have toy cars. Without
thinking what do they really want.

Why do stereotypes occur?
Stereotypes arise as a way of
explaining or justifying differences
between groups
Lack of exposure to other groups,
cultures, etc.
Influence of media.
*even in the old times kasi, people are always
looking for a way to explain the unknown.
Whenever they observe something, they would
draw a conclusion and sometimes those
conclusions are mainly drawn for the sake of
explaining. Basta may masabi lang na
explanation.
Lack of exposure. A little knowledge is a
dangerous thing. In Dubai, on a business
meeting, a lady should not shake hands with a
man. Never smile to a man because they would
think that you like them in a romantic way.
Policemen are slow. CSI investigates fast
Insanity defense. (How to get away with murder)
