I think it's a lot of nurture, not nature.

I have grown up not being encouraged much with honestly quite an absent family, but with extensive pig headedness and drive for excellece. (Read: stubborn.) however, I think if our little girls were always told that they could do anything (and similarly to boys... they can do anything, including hair dressing, nursing, ballet dancing, crying when they are hurt physically or emotionally.......) then we would live in a much more diverse and fair world.

I think you are right. Back in the 40's women were doing everything. My mother was a strong swimmer and took on the men's open events and won those because there was not enough competition in the women's events. Her father died when she was about 10 leaving her mother to bring up the three kids on her own with little welfare. There was my mothers role model.

Impressed with the build.
