Are women natural caregivers because they can give birth and men natural logical thinkers, independent and aggressive, or were they conditioned to be these conditioned traits? Gender and sex is complicated, and it gets more complicated when we try to see if there is a difference between the brains of males and females, because adults have gone through their share of gender conditioning. So, how should we see gender? What can we do to break the correlation between gender and sex? And what do toys have to do with this?
