They show that biological differences between males and females can sometimes be the result of social differences, rather than their cause

Explanation:

Social difference: The term social difference is determined as different situations in which different people are being discriminated against with each other based on racial, social, and economic inequality. It includes language, caste, race, color, sexual orientation, social class, etc. A few social differences arise because different people choose to follow or implement specific practices.

The social difference can be a result of the biological difference between females and males in a particular society as there are different norms, rules or regulations are being set for different genders.
