Okay, so you're now saying that hormones are the major factor differentiating men and women? Larger than society? So from 1920 to 1970, the changes that have taken place between men and women can be explained by changes in their hormones? Similarly from 1970 to today?
I suppose it's possible that we could have real genetic and hormonal changes in the human body in the past 100 years (3-4 generations), but it's pretty far fetched. What's far more likely is that society itself has changed. That change has altered the human experience far more powerfully than chemistry can in such a short time period.
On short time-scales, recent history alone is enough evidence that nurture is far more powerful than nature.
