If a child is dressed in pink, and as a consequence pushed towards dolls, even though 'she' is a boy... that's not society making choices?
But I don't know what that means. She did go against it. We tried to get her interested in train sets. She resisted it. Just wasn't.

But it's not Devil's Advocate. The blank slate has been the standard social science model for decades. Utterly orthodox. Needs challenging
-
We couldn't condition her into thinking she wanted to race the trains. She wanted to give them a personality & make them talk to each other.
-
And this comes up again & again & is found to be strongly indicated in metastudies. Girls more interested in the social, boys the technical.

This is a survey of the metastudies on this.https://twitter.com/HdxAcademy/status/901130484004122626 …

So, from birth, you gave your daughter 'boy's toys' and she resisted?
-
Yes, she was always more interested in her toys with faces than in things that moved but didn't.
-
She's just one example & she's not that gender-typical otherwise but there really is mountains of evidence for this.
-
Girls speak earlier than boys, Girl newborns look at faces for longer. No-one's forcing women into psychology rather than engineering.
-
Can anything be said about girls who don't talk until later?
-
I don't know. But girls brains connect more across the lobes which also indicates communication skills. Boys more within lobes
-
It would be much more surprising if we were the only primates not to have gender differences or if our brains were the only thing the same.
