The difference between men and women is "born" or "raised", or what are the conclusions of experts?

Boys who like doll play, girls who are crazy about cars -It is good to boost the opposite direction to typical gender norms

Speaking of the toy section, the common sense is divided into a corner for girls with dolls and images, and a corner for boys with monster figures and radio control cars.[Keiko Iguchi (journalist)] [See photos] The Target of the Gender, a major and retailer for competitions for the British para national team pointed out as "too short and inappropriate" integrates the display shelf that was separate gender and specializes in toys.Store tois Rsu abolishes gender notation attached to products in many countries.The "Gender -free" puppet series released by Matel, a Barbie doll, is also gaining popularity.These changes reflect the recent changes in the consciousness of the daddy mama generation.As the generations who grew up in receiving diversity and LGBT rights become parents, the idea of gender -neutral child -rearing that does not impose traditional masculinity / femininity, spreads rapidly in Europe and the United States.There is.On the other hand, when you become a parent, you will be confused.Despite being very careful not to put my child into a gender type, my 2 -year -old daughter loves stuffed animals and picture books, and my 4 -year -old son is crazy about fighting trains and playing.After all, are girls and boys born and different OSs are installed?The question of the difference between men and women is "born" or "raised" for many years, but the conclusions of brain science and psychology experts may be different from many parents' intuition.Certainly, there is a biological difference between men and women.For example, the brain beam connecting the right brain and the left brain is larger for women, and there are differences in the development and speed of the brain development in childhood.However, there is no evidence that such differences are directly linked to the differences between men and women's abilities and behavior, and it is overwhelmingly dominant that the difference between individuals is much larger than gender differences.Nevertheless, if a young boy likes adventures and is noticeable to girls who prefer pink clothes, it may be an effect that small differences are gradually reinforced by the reactions of the surrounding adults and social pressure.Gena Rippon, the author of the Gender -made Brain and Professor Emeritus of Aston University, points out.If you call a girl playing with a doll, "Girls are kind," the values that "girls should always be kind" will be enhanced.On the other hand, if you miss a violent behavior as "you can't help it because you're a boy," you can send an wrong signal, "You can behave as you like."And most people are unaware of their gender bias.In an experiment that made a 11 -month -old baby on a slope with a different slope, the girl's parents tended to predict their child's athletic ability and the boy's parents tended to be higher (actual athletic ability was gender.There was no).
