sex, not gender

["Stephen Ambrose" <>]

The last comment from me on this subject (I promise):

Philip states: 

" As far as the ideas of the sexism in human society, there is no shortage
of other mammal species that
run a similar system of males taking a domineering role over females."

That is true. While there are anatomical, physiological and natural
environmental influences to human sexism (i.e. sexist attitudes), a
significant proportion is culturally- and/or religiously-based.  Religion is
a cerebral concept that, as far as I know, is unique to the human species.
The gender roles of humans are "inventions" based on culture and religion
and are additional to the roles of sexes that nature defines for each
species.
