Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women are often socialized from a young age to be submissive and prioritize the needs of others above their own. This can make it more difficult for them to become assertive, as it goes against the socialization messages they have received. While genetic and biological makeup may play a role in personality traits, it is unlikely to be a major factor in the difference in assertiveness between men and women. Lack of motivation and stereotypes may also be contributing factors, but they are not as widely recognized as a factor in the difficulty women have in becoming assertive.
