Answer:

Gender socialization comprises a distinct socialization for boys and girls, that is, it is an established stereotyping about the expected behaviors and personality according to the individual's gender.

This early socialization can have important impacts on a person's entire life, girls for example can be socialized according to some type of gender bias, or inequality, and the socialization environment is also relevant, which can culminate in situations of sexism and gender expectations that reduce the autonomy and freedom with which a girl, for example, understands her existence.
