Question

How do the concepts “sex” and “gender” related?

Answer 1

"s*x" is ascribed (you're born with it), whereas "gender" is achieved (you become it).  

s*x includes male and female.  Gender includes masculine and feminine.

Get it?

Answer 2

I'm assuming this question is from an anthropology/ sociology area, so the concept of s*x is a more biological idea like the s*x of a man is physically male, and so forth for a woman. Gender is a more complex issue and pertains to the roles defined by a culture for each s*x.  For example the male s*x in America is "gendered" to like "guy" type of things.

Answer 3

s*x and gender are related in that the two genders (male and female) exist for the purpose of sexual reproduction. It takes a male and a female to have s*x with each other in order to reproduce. Therefore, gender has everything to do with s*x. If there was no such thing as s*x, then there would be no reason to have two genders.

Answer 4

s*x is a biological concept, relating to male and female genitalia. IN a Western society, those possessing a p***s or a v****a have come to be labelled man and woman respectively. Therefore, one's s*x determines one's gender and vice versa, in this social world.

Answer 5

the messages can be differently perceived, gender is more specific to address the natural identity

Answer 6

s*x refers to the biological description, whereas Gender refers to the social.

For an example:

Women have b*****s...... s*x

Women are more emotional.......Gender
