translate English to French: The extent to which activities are assigned by gender determines how "gendered" a society is; some societies have less gender than others and, thereby, can draw more effectively on the rich and diverse talents potentially offered by all of their members rather than limiting their resources by narrowly restricting what women and men are permitted to do.
Certaines sociétés sont moins « sexualisées » et peuvent donc tirer un meilleur avantage des richesses et talents variés qu’offre toute la population, au lieu de restreindre leurs possibilités en répartissant rigoureusement les activités entre les hommes et les femmes.
