Abstract
Gender inequality is a characteristic of a social structure, according to which different social groups, in this case, men and women, have stable differences and unequal opportunities in society resulting from them. The social ethology of gender is a limitless field for the study of attitudes, sexist prejudice, discrimination, and the emergence of social roles and norms. As with any prejudice, sexist prejudices are waning and fading away, but the latent prejudice remains. Nevertheless, when forming the psychological image of representatives of gender groups, established gender stereotypes cannot be discounted: they often act as an obstacle to achieving the true equality of men and women in society.
