'''Gender essentialism''' refers to the belief that women and men have a certain essence to their personality in connection with their gender.  Concrete examples include the belief that women are gentler, more passive, more easily frightened, and so on, whereas men are stronger, more active, more courageous, and so on.  In other words, gender essentialism is the belief that traditional [[gender roles]] and [[gender stereotypes]] are inherent and natural to the sexes.
