mLine 5:
Line 5: − ==Sex== − If you typed "sex" and were redirected here, don't be surprised. You see, conservapedians don't actually know what sex is, because they just ask God to have babies. They don't actually engage in that horrible stuff of sticking a peni$ in a vagina. I mean, ew, right?

Alternately, "gender" may be defined to be the norm of social conduct, based on sex. That is, "sex" defines what is biologically present, whereas "gender" defines what society expects of persons of different sexes. The distinction is important: the law tends to forbid discrimination on the basis of both (effeminate men cannot be fired for not acting according to their "gender"), but matters in terms of more abstracted social and legal arguments.
