I think gender differences are created through nature and nurture. Clearly there are chemical differences between girls and guys that make men a bit more aggressive. However, boys are trained to be tough and strong, and not to show emotion. they are taught not to show pain or weakness. When boys show any type of femininity, they're called sexist and homophobic terms. That creates a bigger issue. Why are girls and gay people considered weak and used as an insult? We just need to totally adjust the way we deal with gender.
I believe that men are taught be strong and be dominant because that was the way all men are brought up in society.
