In the UK, sex is a protected characteristic that enables women, for example, to exclude men from certain protected spaced (prisons, rape crisis centres etc). Such protections require a defintion of what a man and a woman is. This is quite fundamental, no?
OK, if you don't include psychological, cognitive & behavioural differences which replicate panculturally and also in other apes - eg men being more interested in working with things and women with people - in 'gender,' I agree that social-only aspects of performance exist.

eg, men in Saudi Arabia wear what we would call dresses and associate with women's wear but they don't and consider it traditionally masculine attire. This is a culturally constructed difference.
