Lawrence Paros, The Erotic Tongue (1984): ''Sex comes from the Latin secare, "to cut or divide," and we first used the word to designate the two major categories of humanity we have come to know and love as male and female. (...) We later used the word sex not only for dividing the sexes, but to refer to qualities of being male or female. Over time we assigned specific attributes to each category. These distinctions were dutifully recorded in the esteemed OED, making-it all very official. The male was described as "the better" and "the sterner" sex ; the female, as "the fairer," "the gentler," "the softer," and "the devout" sex . Women were also called "the second" sex . For a period of time between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when people spoke of "the sex ," they had women in mind.''

Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson) to Keith in Some Kind of Wonderful (1987): 'It must be a drag to be a slave to the male sex-drive .'
Rosalie Maggio, The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991): 'An understanding of the difference between sex and gender is crucial to the correct use of language. Sex is biological: people with male genitals are male, and people with female genitals are female. Gender is cultural: our notions "masculine" tells us how we expect men to behave and our notions of "feminine " tells us how we expect women to behave - but these may have nothing to do with biology. Gender signifies an individual's personal, legal, and social status without reference to genetic sex ; gender is a subjective cultural attitude while sex is an objective biological fact .'
