Next, the factors that constitute the categorization of stereotypes regarding social roles (B.) were highlighted and differentiated from other categorization processes. Subsequently, it was pointed out that the issue is of importance for the analysis of law - the provided examples show sample legal regulations and judicial resolutions in which the way of understanding specific social roles of genders was of key importance (C.).
