Abstract
The conventional way of studying sex is based on a comparison of males and females. These studies discuss various psychological and sociological aspects of men compared with women, manifested, for instance, in interpersonal relations and leadership styles (Billing & Alvesson, 1993). Scholars also show how the division of labour (Kanter, 1977; Acker, 1994), authority structures (Learner, 1986; Smith, 1987) and cultures (French, 1986; Aaltio-Marjosola, 1994) may explain the emergence, reproduction and change of differences between men and women in society.
