I never got that from that statement at all. Just acknowledgement that they're acting according to expectation. It makes no inference that the expectation is there because you can't change it, merely that you haven't.
- tchaffee 7y agoThe nature argument doesn't say you can't change it. Just that the source of your inclination is built in genetically and from birth rather than being a result of nurture. Are boys more aggressive due to nature? Considering that we know what testosterone does to behavior and the stereotype exists across most cultures and all of history, I don't think "boys will be boys" means they were nurtured to be that way, at least not to most people.
