gender and divorce  

Definición

  • Whether the roles, stereotypes, and expectations of men and women in a society are traditional or nontraditional, egalitarian or specialized, the simple fact is that gender matters. More than a term for a person's biological sex, the word gender refers to the social construction of what it means to be a man or a woman in a particular society.
