Answer 1

Answer: Narrower gender socialization for girls is reflected in differential gender access to media.

Gender socialization can be defined as a process of different sexes( both male and females) learning how to live in a way acceptable to one's own society.

Perhaps in Morocco, the female gender is stereotyped not to do some particular things one of which is going to the cinema as it is against the way of living there.

This is what the text above illustrates.
