Answer:

Sexism

Explanation:

Sexism is a stereotype or prejudice that is based on a individual's biological sex. Though sexism majorly affects females (girls and women), it is not limited to just females it can also affect males (boys ad men). Sexism is liked to gender roles ad also includes beliefs that a biological sex is superior to the other biological sex.
