What are the differences between male and female?

Question

DISREGARDING the anatomy.
And when I say differences I mean
are there any differences between them without them being learned. For instance, if some customs were not taught to guys [i.e. being tough, athleticism etc. ] and girls [ i.e. gentleness etc. ]
would they all be the same? or are there really natural differences in personality etc.

Answer 1

away from anatomy, there aren't..
the differences are social, how boys and girls are brought up in a society, how they are tamed to fit the image of a "man" or a "woman", they are taught which roles to play, little boys for example play with guns, cars, etc.., but girls play with dolls, baby dolls, make-up, so they are prepared for their futuristic roles, there was a study about a boy who during birth the doctor accidentally cut off his member, so his family for the next 20 years raised him as a girl, dressing him as one, treating him as one, he grow up to be completely "a woman" very emotional and domesticated ..
i think it would give you a clear idea how we are brought up could adjust us to what we are later, try reading "the other sex" by Simon Des Beauvoir, peace

Answer 2

Scientific American had a pretty comprehensive article a couple of years ago about this. All summaries are based on generalities and so naturally there are exceptions on both sides.
As I recall:
Men and women navigate differently.
Men and women communicate for different reasons.
Men and women differ in linguistic and mathematical ease. (note: this is not the same as saying not able, just differs in the effort needed)
Men and women differ in the way they connect memories.

There were more. All were based on brain structure differences and there was no net advantage to one or the other. As it turns out, the most advanced science supports "Vive la Différence". Instead of squabbling, it is time for real teamwork and let the strengths of each person contribute to the greater good.

Answer 3

There is a very interesting book with the title: why men don't listen and women can't read maps. It explains differences due to evolution, genes, .... maybe you can find in the internet an abstract before buying it.

Answer 6

there are many innate differences that are not explained by nurture but by nature. i think the time you really learn this is when you are a parent. you see that even though you really don't treat your children that much differently, they act and react very differently. from a very young age, for example, girls are more verbal,.
