You'd have to pick a specific culture and a point in time, lek. For example, your question from earlier, about long hair and shaving and dresses? That goes back and forth over time just in our own culture, and may or may not have anything to do with gender in some other at any time. You are, ofc, perfectly aware of the social phenomena of calling boys sissies and of calling girls butch for breaches of gender norms...but you may not be aware that the things you and your nutball friends consider gender breach are gender norms elsewhere, and not just with respect to how we present ourselves, but also our roles in life as envisioned by cultures other than our own.
To be a Real Boy, for example, you may need to have an immaculately groomed presentation wrapped in the finest of silk dresses, primarily engaged in child rearing. To be a Real Girl, you may have to have short cropped hair and utilitarian clothing, primarily engaged in agricultural labor. Some cultures prefer their Real Boys slight and their Real Girls stocky, and vv. On and on the list goes - which is why gender is not understood to be a biological phenomena, and that's why this "atheists abandon science" line of bullshit is untenable on it's own grounds..even as there are certainly plenty of examples where atheists don't give a shit what science has to say about a given thing.
You're not only wrong, your wrongness is built on other bits of wrong at every level of magnification - but stubborn wrongness is considered to be a Real Boys trait in our culture, so rock the fuck out.
