Zitat des Tages über Sozialisierung / Socialization:
High testosterone levels have been proven to make men more likely to commit crimes. The tendency in men toward risky behaviour keeps turning up even where socialization is different, and so does crime and delinquency.
Personality and socialization aren't the same thing.
Dismissing socialization and gender roles as piddling compared to this amorphous idea of 'maternal imperative' is part of the reason progress is stalled for family-friendly policies.
In fact, the socialization gives us the tools to fill our evolutionary roles. They are our building blocks.
I don't pretend there aren't biological differences, but I don't believe the desire for leadership is hardwired biology, not the desire to win or excel. I believe that it's socialization, that we're socializing our daughters to nurture and our boys to lead.
There has to be innate circuitry that does the learning, that creates the culture, that acquires the culture, and that responds to socialization.
