[...] Gender, on the other hand, refers in the context of social sciences to the social construction of sex differences and the social relationships that follow from them. The concept of gender thus reminds us that the differences related to sex are not specifically linked to biology or nature, but rather that it is a matter of 'historically constructed and socially reproduced differences, through differentiated socialization and education of individuals' (ibid).
