While gender is typically associated with the physical sex of a person it actually entails much more then that. Gender has to do with how one considers themself and if they associate more with feminine or masculine traits. It is definded by the society people live in and varies from culture to culture. The definition of gender is very subjective and changes often.

As these pictures display, there are common assumptions about men and women and these thoughts are usually lumped into genders. But, while gender refers to the stereotypes associated with being a man or a woman, it does not necessarily imply the physical characteristics of a person. 

Gender encompasses attributes, behaviors, personalities, characteristics, and roles associated with a person’s biological sex in a given culture.  It is usually socially determined, even the models of the biological sex in a culture are gendered. 

Gender often helps describe acceptable divisions of labor and role in a relationship. In a relationship where a women is the more dominate of the two they will sometimes say they are the "man in the relationship" to explain they are occupying the roles typically fulfilled by the male. Gender norms are often stereotypes about men and women as a whole but women can have masculine traits and men can have feminine qualities.

The differences in gender also result in differences in use of the Internet.  Men and women find the Internet as essential parts of different sections of their lives.
