New wiki page: "Gender"

Post by Technician »

I wrote this page for the wiki:

https://feministwiki.org/wiki/Gender

Preview:
The word gender, originating from the Latin genus (sort, kind) has gained several meanings over the centuries and especially during the past decades. Significant debate exists between ideological groups that wish to highlight the importance of one particular definition of the word.

The words feminine and masculine are usually associated with concepts of gender, as opposed to the words female and male which more commonly relate to sex, though all of these words and concepts are frequently conflated by the general public.
Feedback, comments, constructive criticism welcome.
