Until about twenty years ago, "gender" was only used to describe grammatical
entities like pronouns. "Sex" was used to to talk about male/female
differences. William Safire said he thought the jump occurred when people
began to talk about "the gender gap" in pay. He thought it probably would
have been awkward for people to talk about "the sex gap".
