> It appears to be biological.

Even assuming "its biological", that means that every single boy in the country must be disposed to liking guns, and every single girl must like to mother baby dolls?

And you'd think that a community of "Hackers" would be a bit less concerned about what the bulk of the population does and a bit more interested in the outliers.

A biological effect on character doesn’t rule out outliers.

I’m not sure what u are trying to say tbh. Conceding there is something biological at play doesn’t mean no boy is ever allowed to play with a Barbie.

No need to be too black and white in that statement. Perhaps a better analogy would be men tend to be taller than women, but there are many women who are taller than men.

Yes, but that is not the sentiment being expressed in this thread or the post I responded to.
