You didn’t include a major influence on feminine and masculine traits - hormones. That is not in the mind. It is basic physiology that runs through the bloodstream into many organs. Men don’t get a morning stiffy while still asleep, because they’re thinking about some hot women (or even dreaming). They get them because of the natural rhythm of testosterone working with their circadian clock. Women have the same circadian clock and respond to their hormone levels differently.

NOT TRUE- That is not in the mind.

If I went to the local pub with you and a beautiful blonde started flirting with you from across the bar, you would become aroused and your hormones would kick in.

If she flirted with you and gave you a big smile they would increase.

And if, just as you were ready to go over and introduce yourself to her, I pointed out that “SHE” has an Adam’s apple, Your hormones would do a 180 degree turn and shut down.

The mind controls hormones in many ways. In addition, hormones act as neurotransmitters in the brain creating a feedback loop.

The posterior pituitary gland is actually part of the brain and it secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream under the command of the brain.
