Muslims often maintain that women have a greater sexual urge than men practices of female seclusion and female circumcision have come about subtly yet decisively by cultural factors. Definition: cultural construct that attributes particular characteristics and roles to individuals on the basis of sex. How anthropologists use it: cross-cultural variation, it is not naturally linked to sex, linear movement from sex to gender to desire is not natural, it can be performed, ex. Delaney talking about going on welfare and the stigma women face for it: ex. Gender biases with regards to professions (women typically seeking out receptionists: two-spirited or teaching jobs) Significance: these ideas of relationship between the three of them is not natural and emphasizes cross, the universality of gender is non-existent cultural variation.
