Eg colour blindness much higher in males than females. Male initiated crime is much higher than female. Men would want war more than women --> lysistrata play where women refuse sex until a truce happens in the war. Men paid 20% more for the same work. In canada too in terms of voting rights. Des drug associated in vaginal cancer in the daughters and sometimes the sons of pregnant moms who took it. Testosterone can create genital abnormalities in females fetuses and more masculine behaviour. Often the first generation of children will adopt more of the values that they were raised in rather than their family (host vs blood) Gross anatomy of brain constrained by genetics but finer parts are shaped by nurture.
