There is a lot of difference between sex and gender. The two are not the same.

Yet sometimes, we try to equate the two. Sex refers to the biological and physiological characteristics of men and women. These are the natural differences over which we have no control or role to play. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles played by boys and girls, their behaviours, activities, and attributes. Because of socially constructed roles, being a boy or a girl is an important part of one’s identity. It is because the society teaches us what kind of behaviour is expected from a boy or from a girl. Usually the role played by women is less valued than man.

i) What is the difference between ‘sex’ and ‘gender’?

ii) How does the society create difference between the genders?

iii) Do you think women play a less important role in the society? Give reason for your answer.
