Ho, no! That's not what I meant. I just meant that what we consider to be "Womanish" or "Manish" is part genetic predisposition, but also a huge part social norms.
The more a guy is encouraged to rough-house as a child, the more natural the behaviour becomes as his brain is plastic and wired to such behaviour. The same can apply to traditionally female patterns of behaviour.
