Oh right. Yeah, that's kind of plausible. So women would be more into the nurture idea about everything, not just sex differences.

That's snappier but it kind of implies that the belief comes from vanity - pacing undue value on nurture because it's the work they do. That may be true but it's not the same as saying that it's evolutionarily beneficial for them to believe their work is important.

Yes, I agree with that. So you think that women have a strong instinct to rear children (so they'd choose to forgo childcare and stay at home) and men don't (so, they'd choose not to spend time with kids). Is that right?

No. But to get back to the point, sorry, I just find a lot of these traits quite vague and I like to define them. If women are 'nurturing' presumably they choose to look after children rather than use childcare? And men choose not to look after children?

Is anyone actually proposing that, on AVERAGE, a female homo sapiens (a mammal, as in derived from "mammary") wouldn't have an innate tendency to nurture--especially since human infants are totally helpless at birth (due to large cranium)? As always, notice AVERAGE caveat above

Mammalian females invest heavily in their young. Without being wired to do so, the young would be abandoned/killed/etc. Of course, before you cut my head off: Outliers on the bell curve won't have such wiring, and/or life experiences (aka "socialization") affect how one nurtures.
