Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question is about gender stereotypes and how they influence perceptions of assertiveness in sport managers. The answer is D because the stereotype is that assertiveness in men is seen as a positive quality (strength), while assertiveness in women is seen as a negative quality (being a "bitch"). This double standard is unfair and can make it harder for women to succeed in sports management positions.
