Practice test 2. Gender: a man and a woman
Section 4. Translating from English into Russian
1.e concept of gender, in the modern sense, is considered to be a recent
invention in human history.
2.e ancient world had no basis of understanding gender as it has been
understood in the humanities and social sciences for the past few decades.
3.e term gender had been associated with grammar for most of history
and only started to move towards it being a malleable cultural construct in
the 1950s and 1960s.
4.While the spread of the word in science publications can be attributed
to the inuence of feminism, its use as a synonym for sex is attributed to the
failure to grasp the distinction made in feminist theory, and the distinction
has sometimes become blurred with the theory itself.
5.David Haig stated, “Among the reasons that working scientists have gi-
ven me for choosing gender rather than sex in biological contexts are desires
to signal sympathy with feminist goals, to use a more academic term, or to
avoid the connotation of copulation”.
