Hey,
Go through Stanford Encyclopedia's Article on Social constructionism;
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-gender/
Social constructionism basically means, in a nutshell, that Gender is a social construct; society delineates a man and a woman's role and accordingly we identify certain traits as feminine and masculine. It has different perspectives then on how exactly does gender become a social construct.
Hope this helps.
