Biological differences: if there is no evidence of non-varying or universal behavior then culture and social experiences are shaping the behavior of men and women not their biological sex.

This theory backs the idea of the social construction of gender. Culture creates norms and roles for gender and therefore with differing cultures gender varies.

Answer:

Human sexual dimorphism

Step-by-step explanation:

Sexual dimorphism is a characteristic of certain species where the two sexes exhibit different characteristics that go beyond the differences in their sexual organs. The differences might include size, weight, colour, markings, behavioral and cognitive differences.
