By default conservatives tend to assume that social differences are explained biologically while liberals assume they're explained culturally. Both are extreme and likely very wrong positions.

As far as gendered behavior goes, I've never seen anyone say it's strictly biologically determined with no influence at all from culture. However many people do claim the opposite (100% socially constructed with no influence at all from biology).
