Content: Anthropologists that have studied cultures around the world know that a lot of the traditional gender roles we see in the west are just products of culture and not necessarily innate. For the most part, culture forces people into behaving in certain ways. That said, almost all cultures do end up having gender roles that, whatever they are, align with physical sex in some way.

Yes,
Gender and sex are not the same which are confused by many. Gender is a concept of behavior while sex is the biological part referencing genitalia. Because of this distinction between the two genders can be studied by comparing and contrasting many different societies. Anthropologist have done this many times in many studies. The fact is in definition gender and sex are different. While one can be seen easily the other is perceived by the person. Report Post
