Gender
From RationalWiki
| A baker's dozen on Human Sexuality |
"Gender" is the set of sociological, behavioural and cultural constructs associated with each sex. Often, it is used synonymously with sex[1] but gender and gender identity specifically refer to the individual's self-conception rather than biology.
Gender is most often manifested by people terming things as masculine (like the male) or feminine (like the female). Feminists and others concerned about sexual equality maintain that all these concepts and traditions are just socially constructed and not real. It is often considered politically incorrect to say otherwise, even though there are some physiological reasons behind some aspects of gender identity.
