Our biological sex is determined at birth by factors beyond our control, yet being born male or female is probably the most important feature of our lives. The first question generally asked about a new born baby is whether it is a boy or girl, just as the first thing we notice when we see someone for the first time is whether the person is male or female. Almost every official form we fill out requires us to say whether we are male or female. Physical appearance, dress, behavior, and language provide some of the most important means of identifying ourselves daily to others as male or female. When we see a baby dressed in pink with a frilly bonnet, we conclude it must be a girl. Even though unisex fashions have made gender boundaries increasingly less rigid, gender is still one of the most visible human traits.

What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails,and puppy dogs' tails.
That's what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice,and all things nice.
That's what little girls are made of.
(traditional English nursery rhyme)
The familiar nursery rhyme telling us what little boys and girls are made of suggests that each sex is made of fundamentally different things. When we say "boys will be boys," we generally mean there are certain ways we expect boys to behave simply because they are male, for example, to be high-spirited, aggressive, and so on. On what do we base such expectations and beliefs? Are there sex-specific ways of behaving that are acquired by being born male or female or through growing up as a boy or girl? If there are differences, are they biologically determined or socially constructed?

What becometh a woman best, and first of all: Silence. What seconde: Silence. What third: Silence. What fourth: Silence. Yea if a man should ask me til, dowmes day, I would still cry, silence, silence. ( Wilson, 1533, cited in Baron, 1986, p. 56)
I think girls just talk too much, you know, they--they--talk constantly between themselves and--about every little thing. Guys, I don't think we talk about that much. (What kind of things do you talk about?) Not much. Girls . . . , cars, or parties, you know. I think girls talk about, you know, every little relationship, every little thing that's ever happened, you know. (teenage boy interviewed by Penelope Eckert, 1993)
