I grew up in a household where men and women had to fix things, both quilted, both tended our victory garden, all because we had to. Never seemed odd to me until i was older and people questioned my interest in engineering and building things, but ignored my hobbies of sewing and other thread crafts.
Yes, I guess nature gifts our brains one way or another. Yet, I look at how both boys and girls are discouraged from interests they might have. Let's not stifle their talents because we might tend to think those are aberrations. Gifts are what they are.

Just because boys like to play cook does not mean they are gay. My grandson and granddaughter play with each others toys and there is nothing wrong with that. Society decided that specific things/colors are for boys or girls. That is ignorance of humanity. Girls can like whatever they want and boys can like whatever they want.

Every Christmas I asked for the same thing and never got it, one of those doll babies that pees and you have to change it. As a kid I loved playing with dolls and pushing a stroller around. But I also loved playing with my toy train set and my action figures.
I think children just love toys and love playing. It's adults that seperate toys into different categories, which makes children feel like they have to choose between them.

I think it's a bit simplistic to say kids' preferences aren't shaped by societal and cultural norms. As a little girl, I wanted to play with hot wheels, but I had a rule for myself to never go in the boys aisle at the toy store, so I never ended up getting them. We have to remember social and cultural influences don't start in adulthood - they're present throughtout our lives.
Edit: the only thing that sucks about getting a lot of like is new people coming in trying to have arguments you already had with other people days ago

I am a nanny who works for dozens of families and what I have observed is that yes, a lot of little boys gravitate towards sports, trucks, destroying things lol, and a lot of girls gravitate towards dolls etc, but I have also seen plenty of little boys gravitate towards more feminine things and girls the other way as well. I strongly believe a lot of traits/characteristics/mannerisms perceived as fmeinine are shamed out of little boys.

What he's saying has no proof other than statistics of the tastes of boys and girls. So I'll give you my example, as someone raised in a European country with "minimal sex differences".
As a child I loved speed. I loved aggression, movement, trucks and guns. I bought toy cars and wanted to go to races and such. Many of my family members realized this and later told me.
However, when I think on those things now I think of them as "ugly" unconsciously. Why? Because everyone, even me, also remembers my mother commenting on how those things were ugly, not for my taste, not for smart little girls, and buying me princesses and baby dolls.
But my true passions come out still sometimes. Now, I've mostly left the prejudices my mom implanted on me behind and it's so liberating. My interests are definitely more stereotypically male and there's nothing wrong with that.

What i hate is people pissed when a boy wants to play with dolls or a girl with trucks. They're kids and these are toys. It isn't so complicated, we socialize our children and they see our society for the roles men and women take on. However anything that doesnt fit inside that perspective is too often mocked or ridiculed

The problem with this is that most of the gendered "preferences" are social constructs. If boys were "wired" to like trucks and guns and fixing/breaking stuff then ALL boys would, but this is just not the case. The same with "feminine" interests. The sad truth behind these ideas is corporate interest driving social norms in order to make money.

The problem is that everything masculine is considered more valuable. If a girl has boyish interests, she's cool, if a boy has girly interests, he's gay.
