No specific statistics ideas general concepts and arguments, no link author to his work. Most definitions refer to gender and sex as attributes of individuals. Sex is typically seen as a biologically-based attribute with two natural categories, female and male. Gender is typically seen as a socially and culturally-based attribute; a continuum with two poles, feminine and masculine. Masculinity seen as mask to shield vulnerability and hide humanity in wizard of ox, when curtain is pulled back to reveal scared timid man. Socialized to believe real men are tough and strong, independent respected, and if you don t measure up you get called names. To keep you boxed in and to conform to the cultural expectations of real men.
