::: Thanks for the ping. As to the questions, I think I'll bow out, and let more major contributors jump in. Not that I'm avoiding things—I may pop in later—but I'm a bit gendered out at WP articles for the moment, and need to lurk or play a more minor role here for a bit. But I will subscribe, and watch with interest, and rejoin, perhaps, at a later time. Thanks again! ] (]) 00:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

A better definition may include gender roles:
*{{tq|Gender is "the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for" humans of a particular sex}}.
The article ] may need to be merged here, or this article should be shortened to encompass just an overview of all of the concepts of gender. ] (]) 02:13, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Gender was one of the Social sciences and society good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

The rise of criticism against the WID approach led to the emergence of a new theory, that of Women and Development (WAD). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhum.group2 (talk • contribs) 17 May 2019 (UTC)
In contemporary times, most literature and institutions that are concerned with women's role in development incorporate a GAD perspective, with the United Nations taking the lead of mainstreaming the GAD approach through its system and development policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhum.group2 (talk • contribs) 17 May 2019 (UTC)

C-class downgrade
CactiStaccingCrane, can you please elaborate on this downgrade to class C? You gave as the reason, downgrade to C-Class due to lack of citations, see also: Wikipedia_talk:Vital_articles#Reassessment_of_Vital_articles .) This article has 205 citations, which at a size of 147 kb works out to 1 citation per 717 bytes. I checked another article in the gender space, Female genital mutilation, which has 257 citations in 177 kb, or 1 per 690 bytes, so roughly the same as this one. Yet, FGM is a featured article, so it would seem that this number of citations could be appropriate for a FA for other articles as well. So, at a minimum, I don't see that as a valid argument for a downgrade below FA, and since this one started out at 'B', I think it should be restored to 'B'.

Thanks for the assessment review, and for your comments. (Needless to say, it could be subject to reassessment based on other factors, and as assessing editor shouldn't shy from that if applicable.) Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 15:30, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Lead sentence definition
I propose changing the lead sentence to something like:
Gender is "the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with" the male or female sex in humans. Merriam-Webster
This is consistent with the current source (Palan, K. (2001)): "ender is the cultural definition of behavior defined as appropriate to the sexes in a given society at a given time."Kolya Butternut (talk) 01:06, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Oppose. If you check M-W's definition of gender role, you'll see that they don't have one. (But note that they do have gender identity.) So, I think they are adding the definition of gender role to gender, because they don't have another place for it. In fact, the definition you quoted, is pretty close to what I think of as a definition of gender role, and I don't think your proposed definition should be used here. Notice that it is only the 2b definition; why pick that one and not, say, the 2a definition, which it equates to the sex 1a definition? (Rhetorical question; definitely don't do that!) The point here being, a (good) dictionary lists *all* meanings of a term (not only the primary one) including less frequent usages. Here, they are listing *all* the ways that the word gender can be used, and it's true that it sometimes it is used to mean "sex" (as in 2a), and sometimes it is used to mean "gender role" (as in 2b). But in no way is 2b the primary definition of it, and we shouldn't cherrypick that version and imply that it is. Mathglot (talk) 09:50, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
