The distinction between sex and gender wasn’t really made until the 1940s and 1950s in parts of academia. The idea of them as separate ideas is sort of a modern invention.
- jimbokun 4y agoWhen did terms like "tomboy" come into vogue? The idea of a person of one sex displaying common gender characteristics of the other sex is very old.
- Robotbeat 4y agoMaybe in a general sense, but not in the way we use the word “gender” today. This distinction was made by academics studying this in the 1940s and 1950s, really becoming widespread in academia in the 1960s.
