Let me preface this with I'm not fond of stereotypes, but are the "typical" male traits (see details) learned or genetic?

1 Answer

Answer :

When discussing the origins of behavioral characteristics it is a simple question of nature versus nurture. I’ve read studies in support of nature, one will always find one in support of nurture too. These characteristic are influenced by both genetics and the environment. Our genes tend to lay down the groundwork or physical foundation and naturally the environment builds on them. I know the question specifies ‘males’, but I wanted to write a generalized answer.
