Anyone would be able to easily identify a persons gender by looking at that persons appearance. ... There are three generally accepted theories, namely biological determinists, sex-gender theorists and social constructionists that would help answering the question mentioned above. ...
On the other extreme, social constructionists argued that masculinity and femininity, sexuality and gender, are socially constructed. ...
The last major group of people is the sex-gender theorist and they acknowledged the existence of biological differences between males and females, but somehow deny that theses differences determine humans’ behaviour. ... Nevertheless, I agree with the biological determinists’ views that genes can determine the gender because for many years in the society, males are being recognised as the stronger sex, which I reckon. ...
I also share the same views with the social constructionists on their point that society and environment do play a part in determining the gender of an individual; except that they have totally ignored the fundamental logic of genetic influence that I believe in.
The sex-gender theorists come closest to my views; agreeing that males and females are different biologically.
