Is the male–female dichotomy an appropriate mode of defining gender? Why, or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


The male–female dichotomy is strongly embodied in most of cultures, religions, and even
languages. However, gender is much more complex than a simple dichotomy, and it is better observed as a continuum. Biological foundations of gender are not always as straightforward as it may seem; genetic, hormonal, and somatic systems can be mutually discordant. Moreover, the behavioral component doesn’t necessarily adjust to one’s biological gender. Life history also influences gender expression. While there are very masculine men and very feminine women, they represent only ends of
the gender continuum, with many other variations in between.
