Ying Liu’s mom and dad take their role as parents seriously. They want their daughter to conform to traditional expectations, so they make sure that she is dressed in pretty clothes, that she doesn’t get too dirty, that she plays with dolls, and that she doesn’t behave in ways that they consider too active or aggressive. This teaching process is called:A) gender formation.
B) gender socialization.
C) gender profiling.
D) gender discrimination.
E) genderizing.

Gender socialization ( B )

Explanation:

Gender socialization is the process of training/teaching someone on how to behave socially according to their gender based on societal beliefs.

Ying Liu's mom and dad teaching their daughter to play less aggressively with her toys, wear pretty clothes, play with dolls and not become dirty while playing, are ways that they are trying to model her social behavior towards the traditional beliefs on how women/girls should behave in the society.

girls/women are not expected by the society to be aggressive and dirty but to be neat and gentle in nature.
