The starting point of feminism is the assertion about the immersion of man in the world of culture and social relations, and hence the need for the deconstruction of the classical dichotomous conceptual model in which "male" and "female" have connotations above-below, reliable-unpredictable, strong-weak, active-passive, culture-nature. Conclusions. Аnalysis of the conceptual sphere of the concepts of "gender" and "sex" in feminist studies provides wide opportunities for constructing a picture of social reality and culture rethinking.
