no, that's not what gender is; gender is the attempt to divide people by a schema of "kinds of person" and treat that schema as fundamental.
gender is also the set of personal and social ways of reacting to the phenomenon of sex.

-
but either way, sex is a biological phenomenon (understood via social construction) and gender is a social one (ditto).
-
that is, if the terms were used consistently or coherently, "male" would refer to sex and "man" would refer to gender.
-
& if people had any goddamn sense, "male" would refer to a statistical neighborhood in the space of possible sex expression, not an essence.
