What are Gender Stereotypes?

Gender stereotypes are generalized behaviors and attitudes that are thought to be normal and appropriate for a person solely based off his or her biological sex. This leads to people making quick judgements about others based on their appearances and attitudes.

Do gender stereotypes determine an individual’s gender identity? Should they?
