This is a normal post I say it is both,
but you seem to be saying it is entirely nurture.

This is a normal post and i quote you.... 'I think most of personality is genetic'...
you mis-perceive me. all i was saying was that gender is a social construct and then you went and started talking about animals.

This is a normal post Well, I'd rephrase that as
'I think most personality traits have a genetic basis'. Yes, you need society to trigger them, and that is where I'd say social constructs come into it. However, I doubt society can create them.

I felt you were saying that there are no non-physical gender differences at all without society's involvement, hence why examples of it in the animal kingdom are interesting.
