Research Has Found That Females Who Adhere More to Traditional

Research has found that females who adhere more to traditional gender stereotypes may be at increased risk for dating violence victimization. Why is this?

A) Because media portrayals of women who are more "traditional" in style often presents these women as victims.
B) Because they are sending messages, even nonverbally, that they want to be treated in an aggressive and, in some cases, violent nature.
C) Because their view of the female gender role may include being more submissive to a male's desires.
D) Because they are typically less educated and less "worldly," and thus may not recognize violent behavior even when they are receiving it.
