It partially is - men and women have very different hip bones. I don't think the race thing is true, though.


Sex and gender are not the same thing though. Sex is a biological distinction. Gender is a loose way of attempting to categorise people as they appear and behave.

Race has a similar problem, because scientists generally feel that trying to pidgeonhole the enormously large wealth of genetic diversity into just a few blurry categories is unhelpful. This is why people say it's a social construct, because being "black" has far more social meaning than biological meaning.

I think this is why the whole gender debate is getting out of hand, becuase some people just keep adding more categories whereas others want to do away with categories altogether, and then even more ask "well what is even the point of categories in the first place if we can't use them".
