Should Gender Stereotypes be challenged?

1. It can be scientifically proven that men have a higher testosterone in their body which are the reasons for their aggressive and competitive nature.

That is one reason, and not necessarily exclusionary.

2. It can be proved by basic observation that it is not society that dictated how men and women should function through stereotypes. Look at some animals, like say - dogs, no one taught them how boy dogs should behave or how girl dogs should behave - they have no society to impose "stereotypes" on them, yet they project distinctive characteristics that categorize them as a male and female.

Do they? Do you have studies demonstrating that male dogs are more aggressive than female dogs?

Here is a basic sites saying statistically males are on average more aggressive than females.

I'm surprised you would ask for studies demonstrating this, basic experience with most mammals like cats and dogs should be enough to know that males are usually more aggressive.

I've had cats all my life and males have bigger territory, fight way more, I've had two ginger tom cats who were the stereotype of this, scars all of their face looking like a cat version of a pirate.
Neutered males tend to show much less aggression and cut down on their territorial behaviour because obviously they don't need to go out prowling for females.
