[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were tests run on adults, which means they were looking at brains that had decades to develop neural pathways while living in a highly gendered society.[/quote]

Before I had kids, I was convinced it was nurture, not nature.

Then I had kids. Great kids. But, it is 80% nature or higher. We control much less than what we think or want.[/quote]

You think boy and girl infants act differently?[/quote]

I think toddlers and up can act differently. I have only boys. The language acquisition in most girls far surpassed my boys at a young age. I think girls, on average, are capable of more at younger age than boys and that starts to even out in the tweens.

We did not “gender” our boys. We didn’t care about any of that stuff. They primarily grew up overseas in a different culture anyway. But they are who they are, that’s for sure.[/quote]

You did engender them!  There is no way not to do it! Other cultures do this too, so growing up overseas doesn't change that. Some cultures are far worse in these ways too.[/quote]

Culture is created by people, it does not create people.  Culture is the result, it is not the cause.[/quote]

Moot point for this argument. Unless you can find a way to raise children without a culture, which would be a culture, so therfore is impossible.[/quote]
