Now, you're probably wondering "What's there to understand?" Well as it happens, gender issues go a lot deeper than penis vs. vagina. There are psychological issues behind gender that go far beyond even the effects that socialization, or the process of teaching a person through example and experience, can have on a person's development.
Before I go much further, I want to clarify one thing: as I write this article, I will use "sex" to define what is between a person's legs and gender to define what is in their head. Furthermore, I will use Male and Female to denote physical status and Man and Woman to denote societal status, or what the person is perceived to be based on upon appearance and attitudes, and the roles associated with such. This is an important thing to keep in mind.
