Document Summary

You probably assume that you learn to be what you are by culture. You think that you"re sexually a blank slate and your parents and friends and society have written your path. Hanky baby doesn"t think this is true because of course these messages are out there but they are just tweaking important genetic makeup that was already there. Gender talks about social science but it also has a biology aspect to it. When you think about the difference between men and women you think about sex differences rather gender differences. It is said that gender differences are socially constructed . We all are hardwired differently if we are males or females, it is not just that we are born with these parts and then society determines what gender we are. You carry a lot of circuitry in you this is what sex differences are all about.
