Social Structure Framework

why do we get hung up on being able to identify if a person is male or female – ask why does that matter?
![Page 18: Society, Social Structure, and Interaction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56815113550346895dbf30c4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Think biology – our basic instinct is to identify possible mates or threats
how do we identify male and female ?
![Page 19: Society, Social Structure, and Interaction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56815113550346895dbf30c4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
is it long hair, is it nurturing attitudes, is it posture, is it clothing? What if how we identify male and female has nothing to do with how people think of themselves?
