Women often face situations in which they are "damned if they do, damned if they don't." These situations are called ________.

A) gender typing
B) neosexism
C) double binds
D) stereotype threats

Double binds are situations where women are faced with conflicting expectations or demands that leave them without a satisfactory response or choice. They are "damned if they do" one thing and "damned if they don't" do another. This can lead to stress, frustration, and feelings of helplessness. Gender typing refers to the process of learning and internalizing gender roles and expectations. Neosexism refers to subtle forms of sexism that are less overt but still perpetuate gender inequalities. Stereotype threats occur when a person's performance is negatively influenced by the awareness of a negative stereotype about their group.
