Gender is a cultural construct. Masculine and feminine are genders. Male and female are sexes, (their differences are not cultural, but are instead biological, physical, genetic).

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but "sex" seems to be the more accurate word choice for the intended meaning.

Good point. It seems like a pretty glaring oversight.
