Gender :
The dictionary meaning of gender is “classification of objects roughly corresponding to the two sexes” as well as the properties of these two sexes. While discussing the differences between the sexes we generally focus on biological and reproductive functions, but differences in gender relate to various other attributes, which may be socially and culturally determined. In other words Status of Women sex is biological whereas gender is sociological, namely, the social meaning we attribute to it.
Role and Status:
Very simply, role tells us about what is expected from an individual in a particular situation, while status deals with her or his expectations arising out of that situation. To put it another way, a role deals with duties and obligations while status deals with rights (but not necessarily legal rights).
