We have often seen that boys tend to play with toy like guns, cars and bikes while girls play with teddy bears, dolls and tea sets. Is this tendency innate or just norms of society which advocate that boys are meant to defend and while girls are compassionate, better dressed and home makers. Is there a difference in brain structure and disposition in sexes or are these gender typical mannerisms thrust upon by the society?

Women are from Venus and men from Mars. Sometimes, we do feel that our parents behave as if they from different planets don’t we? Maybe, that’s why they complement each other to make a perfect whole .After all, opposites do attract and they do complement. But does this mean that the brain is dimorphic? Without mixing the logic of the male brain and emotion of the female brain, we definitely would be pretty dull creatures.
