Abstract
Sociology studies society, patterns of social actions and mass behaviour of people, as well as the relationship between the individual and society. Sociology, having a complex of scientific tools, can afford to measure everything, and, having received these measurements, operate with facts, entering into disputes and discussions, explaining the complexity of phenomenon in a simple manner and clarity for everyone. In the article, the author tries to do the same with the concept of “gender", which causes different feelings and comments. Someone is irritating, someone has questions or is confused, someone has a genuine interest. A small word -and so many emotions... Someone says that it is “social gender", and someone simply says - “gender". Why and where these passions, questions, disputes and interest? It seems to me time arrived to bring some clarity to the history of the emergence and development of this concept.
