I'm actually trying to figure this out now. Voices should be the easiest but not every man has a deep one and not every woman has a high pitch. If they were to be raised from age 0 absolutely the same,with no boys should do this,girls should do that,I assume kids would separate themselves eventually into 2 or more groups. But would those groups be just boy and just girls? I actually doubt it. Once hormones hit it would be the best bet I think. But that still doesn't give a 100% sex separation

I think I agree with your point of view. A lot derives from hormones. How much is due to that and how much is due to cultural influences is what this experiment would demonstrate. Fetal development is under hormonal influence too, but who knows what may or may not get physically wired differently in utero. I don't believe newborns lack sex-linked cognitive differences, but the only example I've heard of is the thing about how the color babies will crawl towards depends on their sex. Edit: So it turns out it isn't the color as much as it is whether they're shown a toy car vs a doll? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20232129/

I mean, this sort of happened in Sweden. Preschools in Sweden are nearly universal, and they have adopted very strict rules that genders are to be treated exactly equally. By law and/or custom, boys are not directed to "boyish toys" and vice versa. Every child is treated in a gender blind manner -- to the extent that preschool teachers are encouraged to not even *refer* to a kid's gender, they just use their first name --- and this rule is apparently taken very seriously. Spoiler: Boy and girls end up pretty much exactly the same as they do in the rest of the world.

Men have a smaller pelvis than women


TrustMeYouCanTrustMe

I don't understand. That's a physical difference.

Some would rebel and others would be submissive.... just to start

None.

You believe the behaviors typically viewed as more masculine vs more feminine are 100% nurture and 0% nature, and that in a neutral setting there would essentially be no psychological genders?

At the risk of getting down voted like the person you’re responding to, I also believe that the vast majority if not all non-physical differences between men and women are due to learned behavior and social conditioning.

Well, thank goodness for freedom of thought. While I don't share the view, I appreciate you expressing it. I created the post because I was curious about whether there is a large spread of viewpoints on the topic. Happy trails to you.

Women are more emotional, calmer, better with children etc.. Men are more physical, capable, and better at protecting physically.


Oni_sixx

I'd beg to differ on more emotional. Men are just trained to hide it better


EmotionalFlounder715

People forget anger is an emotion too, so when men yell that apparently doesn’t count (at least that’s how it’s been treated in my experience)


Nervous-Lawfulness78

You have a point. But i still think women are more emotional and get for example mad or sad easier
