Great piece by @OwenJones84 about how gender isn’t some inner essence but socially constructed sexist bullshit, which everyone, especially men, should fight.

There are 3 positions aren't there; 1-we all born as blank slates, 2- we all born with a gendered/sexed temperament and 3- we all born with a genderfree/sexless temperament.
We are all born w sexed bodies & personal temperaments. Heritable behavioural traits can be more common by sex (because: evolution). Human beings are v. flexible & differences in practice are influenced by socialisation. Sexed bodies, heritable traits & human societies co-evolved

Flexible & plastic brains must be necessary for humans to have been able to create so many societies and thrive in so many environments.
-
Right, but flexible and plastic brains depend on long and dependent childhoods, which depend on long parental investment, and the evolutionary incentives for this to male and female parents are different...

I think the sex of our body does have an impact on our personal temperament through life but I'm not convinced any behavioural traits are inherited or that they vary between the sexes even if they are.
