Sex" refers to the biological distinction between males and females, while "gender" refers to the cultural dimension between the social roles, psychological attributes and identities of men and women.
Gender is a concept used in the social sciences to designate the non-biological differences between women and men. The term thus refers to the social and cultural dimension of the social roles, moral attributes and identities of men and women.
Gender studies is a multi-disciplinary field of research that examines differences in gender roles, and the representations and beliefs attached to these differences. They reveal inequalities and power relations linked to constructed identities, through a hierarchical classification of the masculine and feminine.
