In sociology, sex would serve to define the differences: "anatomical and physiological that define the male and female bodies". Unlike this, gender: “concerns the psychological, social and cultural differences between men and women. Gender is linked to socially constructed notions of masculinity and femininity ”. And, perhaps even more important: "it is not necessarily a direct product of an individual's biological sex".
The genre is socially constructed. There is a socialization of the genre and the differences that arise from it are, in fact, culturally produced. If there are inequalities between men and women, it is because “men and women are socialized in different roles. Studies show that, to some extent, gender identities are the result of social influences ”. The different chances that men and women have today are the result of a society structured around these cultural manifestations mentioned above.
