For instance, men were depicted as being angry and aggressive and women were defined as being caring. Sex and gender were not distinguished in the early 90’s. Gender was described as a naturally given fact and gender was defined by the location of genitals in the body. Later, sex was defined as a biologically given thing, which all human being has and gender was defined as a cultural interpretation of the biologically given sex.
