6. How is advertising differentiated according to gender stratification?
The word gender describes the state of being male, female, or neither. Some languages have a system of grammatical gender (also known as noun classes). In social sciences, the word "gender" is sometimes used in contrast to biological sex, to emphasise a social, cultural or psychological dimension (измерение, объем). The discipline of gender studies investigates the nature of sex and gender in a social context.
