This is the nature vs. nurture, which I don't believe is an either/or but a both/and. However, the list that is featured on this post is definitely ALL culturally defined. Nothing innate there.

Right. Which is why I think that the list, while entertaining, is basically useless. We know a prissy guy by his affinity for feminine behavior--not because he wears a scarf or black-rimmed glasses.
I think culture enhances basic femininity and masculinity, but a lot of it is innate, because we see common threads cross-culturally.
