Mostly but i don't agree that gender is 100% a social construct. Yes much of it is societally constructed like pink is for girls etc... But there are some clear reasons why sex based roles would be evolutionarily advantageous.

Yes. I agree that there are a lot of socially constructed gender roles (e.g. boys play with trucks and girls play with dolls). It seems kind of insane to insist that everything is socially constructed though. Considering things like aggression tend to follow sex-based patterns across cultures and in different primate species, it seems likely that some differences do relate to sex.

I don't understand your question.

It was a yes-or-no question, but based on the fact that you didn't understand, I'm guessing you don't know who that is, so the answer is no.
