Answer to Question 1

Feedback: Chromosomal and hormonal differences make females and males physically different. Hormones are often blamed for aggressive traits in males; however, there are only slight differences in the level of hormones between girls and boys before puberty, yet researchers continue to find differences in aggression between young girls and boys. Biological differences between women and men are only averages; e.g., although males are on average more aggressive than females, greater difference may be found among males than between males and females. Gender is constantly changing. Femininity and masculinity are not uniformly shaped from genetic makeup. Instead, they are modeled differently (a) from one culture to another, (b) within any one culture over time, (c) over the course of all men's and women's lives, and (d) between and among different groups of women and men, depending on class, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Despite widespread cultural variation in women's and men's activities and roles, every known society makes gender a major category for organizing social life.
