The sex/gender system has many explanations that attempt to address how our sex plays a role in how we learn gender. A

Since the 1990s‚ the biological bi-morphism of humans‚ formerly considered as a “natural” binarism that produces distinctive “masculine” and “feminin” ways of behaviour‚ thought‚ talent‚ language‚ is now seen as the effect of a socio-cultural
