What is gender?

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, and attributes that a society considers appropriate for men and women. It is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses not only biological sex, but also cultural factors such as norms, values, and expectations. Gender can be expressed through clothing, hairstyles, mannerisms, and other forms of behavior, and is often enforced through social pressures and institutional rules. Though commonly viewed as a binary concept with only two genders (male and female), gender is actually a spectrum that encompasses a range of identities, expressions, and experiences.
