I&#x27;m not really qualified to be talking about psychology, but I&#x27;m a reductionist and a bit of a loud-mouth so let&#x27;s get started...<p><i>Icanhackit suggested that these present traits are &quot;extrovert&quot; in nature, however there are traits that are feminine that are extrovert as well - communication, team-building, etc.</i><p>I&#x27;d argue that if a male or female can have good communication or team building skills, we should really do away with any gender connotations and just focus on the fact that it&#x27;s an extroverted skill. I&#x27;ve worked for a female who possessed what you might call masculine behavioral traits, but from what I know about her she&#x27;d been that way her whole life.<p>I suspect that because she and I both lived and grew up in a secular environment there wasn&#x27;t as much of an emphasis placed on gender roles. Now with that massive sample size of 1 person we can, perhaps haphazardly, deduce that <i>some</i> gender roles aren&#x27;t innate to a persons gender. Of course men and women are different and do react differently to various forms of stress and stimuli, but a good portion of behavior stems from culture.<p>So what do we gain by not forcing gender-specificity upon certain behaviors? We can see people as independent from their appearance and treat them in a way that doesn&#x27;t pigeonhole them with certain expectations.
