    They’re both linked intrinsically as we’re both saying though.

    I’d argue that the difference culture makes between genders is rooted way more in biology than we people to give credit for. So much of who a person is relies on a the genetic roll of the dice and a lot less on how we’re raised, who are parents are, etc. While they absolutely have influences, it’s just way less than we link to think it is. Separated twin studies have shown this time and again.

    Also, testosterone and estrogen are a hell of a drug.

      The concept of gender derives from biological sex, so yeah they’re linked. But, beyond being a convenient way to different genitals, gender doesn’t really provide any positive influence to society. It’s most often used as a way to reconcile differences between people and discriminate them into an identifiable group.
