I am rusty on my feminist history, but from what I remember, the French feminist writers in particular tried to write with a lot of word play and rhetorical flourish. I think it's as simple as that "sex roles" is a clumsy phrase. I suspect that it never occurred to her that people may think she was arguing biological sex literally didn't exist because it was such a ridiculous concept (and still is).
