Most scientific research reveals that biology influences gender roles to a rather large degree. It's not a politically correct conclusion, but it's the one that most aligns with the world we know and perceive. If, on the other hand, gender is mostly a social construction, it is hard to find a legal basis for any law that recognizes women as women, such as abortion choice, Family and Medical...
