simple definition of sex and gender. or ?

[F4lconF16]

1. I like this.

'man' = male sex+ masculine social role

(a 'real man', 'masculine' or 'manly')

'woman' = female sex + feminine social role

(a 'real woman', 'feminine' or 'womanly')

Because the societal concept of man or woman has two parts--you are not a "man" if you are "feminine", or vice versa. I think it's a good way to understand the two socially acceptable categories and how our definition of man and woman leaves a huge chunk of the population disenfranchised. If you don't fall into those categories, you are the "other", characterized as an angry lesbian, a weak gay, or, in the case of other gender identities, a "thing".
