Answer 1

The term sex refers to a biological concept that is based on biological characteristics such as the anatomy of an individual's reproductive system, and secondary sex characteristics, whereas gender, is a social construct that deals with personal, societal and cultural perceptions of sexuality. As per the concept of gender, there are masculine (men) roles and feminine (women) roles. These are culturally permitted and, must be adhered to. Some social scientist argue that gender differentiation is bad for society in general and women in particular because it keeps women from reaching their potential and contributing fully to society while other social scientist believe, gender differentiation contributes to the stability of a society. Gender roles, in this view, arise from the need to establish a division of labor within the family. Because of their biological role in childbirth and breastfeeding, women in virtually every culture and society around the planet have the primary responsibility for child care. Similarly, men have traditionally had the responsibilities for hunting and waging war because of their relatively greater size and strength.
