Gender Stereotypes

The edited volume aims at presenting the various forms of stereotyping. As a matter of fact, such logical inclination is not only perpetrated through common sense and public discourse, but also through regulation and various ethical practices. Law and politics, indeed, can have a relevant function in preventing the diffusion of bad and wrong gender stereotypes.

Defines the polymorphism of gender stereotypes Discusses the role of law as a potential tool to overcome stereotyping processes Traces potential horizons to overcome the linguistic, political, and juridical problem of stereotyping
