Revision as of 18:35, 5 September 2004 by Cap (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)"In modern western society, few wear clothing generally associated with female gender roles." I thought this was so in all societies, not just western. Are there modern societies where the men cross-dress ? Jay 15:18, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)
The above quote should say "In modern western society, few men wear clothing generally associated with western female gender roles"
Why is does this page use the word "sex" not "gender"? --(talk to)BozMo 13:56, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
According to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary the word Gender means the grammatical classification of nouns into different sexes. Therefore Sex is the correct word to describe particular characteristics of men and women. Gender is often incorrectly used as a euphemism for the word sex. --Cap 18:35, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
