英文.... and unhelpful gender stereotyping from an early age, campaigners have said. 文法一問?

"gender stereotype" 是一 "性別成見"，例如，女人要較男人柔弱，女子結婚後須擔負起養兒育女的工作。這是普遍的觀點。然而，將此一成見加諸於某人身上，那就是實際施行 "性別成見" (gender stereotyping)
簡言之，gender stereotype 是名詞標簽，陳訴"性別成見"的內容。gender stereotyping 則是實際將此一成見付諸於行動，所以採用 stereotyping 動名詞。

A gender stereotype is a generalised view or preconception about attributes or characteristics that are or ought to be possessed by, or the roles that are or should be performed by women and men. A gender stereotype is harmful when it limits women’s and men’s capacity to develop their personal abilities, pursue their professional careers and make choices about their lives and life plans. Harmful stereotypes can be both hostile/negative (e.g., women are irrational) or seemingly benign (e.g., women are nurturing). It is for example based on the stereotype that women are more nurturing that child rearing responsibilities oftenfall exclusively on them.

Gender stereotyping refers to the practice of ascribing to an individual woman or man specific attributes, characteristics, or roles by reason only of her or his membership in the social group of women or men. Gender stereotyping is wrongful when it results in a violation or violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms. An example of this, is the failure to criminalize marital rape based on societal perception of women as the sexual property of men.

stereotype and stereotyping 都可以是名詞.但是卻代表不同的事物與觀念.

前者是 當<名詞>用的時候 是用來表示 "觀念"與"事實".
後者是 由<動詞>轉型而來的 <動名詞> 用來指明 "醬子的動作"與"行為".

在這句話的上下文中 <動名詞>是來 特別強調 <行為> 才是有害的.
醬子的觀念 就像<言論自由>一樣 是被允許的 而且只要你不去實行 <觀念>是無害的.

非也，是分詞片語，由stereotyping 引導，修飾gender,將其改為----unhelpful gender ( which stereotypes)from an early age,,-------------就很清楚了。
