Men and women have different levels of hormones in their endocrine systems, so it can't be completely explained as a social construct. Whatever that difference in hormones is, it must have some practical evolutionary value. That difference is not a fixed quantity in all people, so there is a lot of variety. How society responds to people that are not just like everyone else is a social construct.
