Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Gender is a social construct. Society sets certain roles and characteristics to define men and women in society. Gender divisions are based on social expectations and stereotypes. Women are supposed to do household work because society expects them to behave this way. Similarly, men are supposed to go out and earn because society expects men to earn. Biologically, both men and women are capable of doing both jobs: men can do housework, and women can work outside the home. Boys and girls are raised to believe household work is for women and men are supposed to earn it. In modern times, we can see many examples of men and women breaking these gender stereotypes in modern times. Many women are scientists, doctors, engineers, etc., and many men are cooks.
The correct statement is Gender divisions are not based on biology.
