Hormonal. Testosterone is linked with aggression, but its also learned behavior, there are violent women and gentle men. There is an unfortunate increase in violence young women that's definitely NOT due to testosterone right? And general or even solid trends can't be quantified given gendered socialization.

But men will never have the experience of childbirth or menstruation or lactation for instance.

I'm asking a male coworker what men can do that women can't (besides the obvious) he said "a lot of things" but hasn't come up with an examples yet. I'm telling him he's letting his peeps down. (I usually don't post at work but I'm precepting today, smart student!)
