Scholars approach the question of leadership differences between men and women through the social construct of gender, or traits associated with masculinity or femininity, Cummings noted, adding that biology does not entirely determine gender issues because there can be masculine women and feminine men.
A gender-neutral job title, on the other hand, is one that does not specify or imply gender, such as firefighter or lawyer.
