The answer is: They are powerful in stigmatizing bisexuals.

Explanation for each option:

  1. They often encourage gender equality.

    • This statement is incorrect. Sexual stereotypes typically reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations, which can perpetuate gender inequality rather than encourage equality.

  2. They influence one's sexual orientation.

    • This statement is also incorrect. Sexual orientation is generally understood to be a complex interplay of biological, genetic, and environmental factors, and is not directly influenced by stereotypes. Stereotypes may affect how individuals perceive and express their orientation, but they do not determine it.

  3. They are powerful in stigmatizing bisexuals.

    • This statement is correct. Sexual stereotypes often contribute to the stigmatization of bisexual individuals. For example, stereotypes may portray bisexuals as being confused, promiscuous, or indecisive, which can lead to social stigma and discrimination.

  4. They set standards for sexual behavior.

    • While this statement is partially true, it is not the most accurate answer in the context of the question. Sexual stereotypes do influence societal expectations and norms regarding sexual behavior, but the question specifically asks about the truth of the statements in relation to sexual stereotypes, and the stigmatization of bisexuals is a more direct and impactful consequence.

Therefore, the most accurate statement is that sexual stereotypes are powerful in stigmatizing bisexuals.

Relationship between tax revenues, deadweight loss, and demand elasticity The government is considering levying a tax of 30 per unit on suppliers of either jeans or allergy medication. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for jeans is shown by DJ (on the first graph), and the demand for allergy medication is shown by DA (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes jeans. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S + Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax (30 per pair). On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for jeans. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax.
