Answer 1

Answer:

Gender stereotyping.

Explanation:

Stereotyping is the act of attributing certain characteristics or images to a certain gender based on gender. In other words, stereotyping refers to the formation of a fixed opinion or image based on that person's gender.

Gender stereotyping is when a person is stereotyped based on his/her gender.

This pre-decided notion where being a female is considered weaker than a male, thereby making her 'unfit' to study the same as a male, is an example of gender stereotyping.
