Abstract
"Created or Constructed? Three words summarise a debate that rages through university campuses. During the 1960s and 1970s it became popular to assert that all the masculine and feminine characteristics which we associate with being male or female are purely the result of social conditioning. They are not essential to our being. In other words sex―the biological fact of being male or female―is a given. But gender―maleness and femaleness―is an artificial social construct from which we need to be liberated"
