1. Primary Sex Characteristics vs Secondary Sex Characteristics.

Primary Sex characteristics are present at birth and comprises the external and internal
genitalia such as, penis and testes in males and the vagina and ovaries in females. While secondary
sex characteristics are those that emerge during the prepubescent and postpubescent phases such
as, breast in females and pigmented facial hair in males.

2. Sex vs Gender.
Sex is the biological and physiological characteristics of males or females, such as
reproductive organs, hormones, chromosomes, etc. these characteristics tend to differentiate
humans as female or male.
On the other hand, gender refers to the social attributes and opportunities associated with
being male or female such as norms, roles, and the relationship between men and women and
boys and girls, as well as those between women and those between men. It is an internal sense of
self, whether an individual sees themselves as a man or a woman, or another identity. For
example; when someone’s gender expression is different to what people expect, they are often
assumed to be gay or lesbian.

3. Gender roles vs Gender Stereotypes

Gender roles in society means how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct
ourselves based upon our assigned sex. For example, girls and women are generally expected to
dress in typically feminine ways and be polite, accommodating, and nurturing. Men are generally
expected to be strong, aggressive, and bold.
On the other hand, a stereotype is widely accepted judgement or bias about a person or
group, even though it’s overly simplified and not always accurate, in gender, stereotypes causes
unequal and unfair treatment because of a person’s gender. This is called sexism. There are four
types of gender stereotypes which are: Personality Traits, Domestic behaviors, Occupations and
Physical appearance. Example of stereotypes in Physical traits is, women are often expected to
be accommodating and emotional, while men are usually expected to be self confident and
aggressive. In Domestic behaviors, some people expect that women will take care of the children,
cook, and clean the home, while men take care of finances, work on the car, and do the home
repairs.
