Eugene, you have not distinguished between the terms 'sex' and 'gender', a
distinction utilized by most journals on the topic. 'Sex' refers to the
sort of biological matters that you listed above. 'Gender', the topic at
hand, includes cultural perceptions, societal roles and distribution of
resources and power--much of which at present is based on religious dogma
and primitive superstitions rather than current testing data and scientific
knowledge.
