To understand masculine and feminine social and political history in the second half of the 20th century, one must first understand the lexical history of the term gender , which did not become an attribute of human beings until 1955 when John Money introduced the concept of gender role to refer to the masculine or feminine presentation of individuals whose genital organs, by reason of birth defect, were anatomically neither completely male or completely female, but hermaphroditic.
