→Norms of social conduct: broader use noted
{{main|Gender roles}}
{{main|Gender roles}}
"Sex" defines what is biologically present, whereas "gender" defines what society expects of persons of different sexes. The distinction is important in law, as it tends to forbid discrimination on the basis of either, e.g. effeminate men cannot be fired for not acting according to their "gender". In other areas the distinction is primarily important for more abstracted social and legal arguments, rather than everyday use.

''Sex'' is often used to denote the activity of sexual relations, and as such is subject to laws of social conduct.
