Ladydessy nailed it. All of your interpretations could be correct depending on the situation or context. I wish DL would add context "clues." This one might be. "We are directing our add campaign at males."
There are birds that are the same species but are different.
People certainly ought to be treated differently. You don't expect someone in a wheel chair to go mountain climbing, you don't expect a blind person to go see an art exibit of famous paintings.
You don't ask a 120lb person to lug 80lb boxes and you don't ask a baritone to sing a soprano part.
People are different, and should be treated differently based on those differences.
The problem comes when the treatment doesn't make sense with the difference, like not expecting a short person to be good at math. No connection between height and mathematical ability.
percieved differences can be actual differences, after all, an actual difference must be percieved. stereotypes existing doesn't mean that something is false, and typicaly means that there's some truth to be found there.
point is that people are treated differently for being different. yes a male can be a nurse, but a male nurse and female nurse will be treated differently. male nurses will be expected to carry heavier loads, and might be excluded when it comes to gynecology or childbirth based on whether the patient is comfortable or not.
point is, people will be and ought to be treated differently based on actual differences, and because they are different. treating everyone as thought they're all the same individual is an exercise in madness.

The man and woman differ, feels more like a logical translation here, but it was married as incorrect. Why, AshFred?
