This is my daughter at around 1 year old. She clearly is holding her own baby even if it is just a doll.I have an old Encyclopedia Britannica which has some interesting information on the brain.
Women in general score just about the same on average but just a tiny bit better. Men score far higher and far lower. The number of geniuses is heavily weighted to men. On the other side men have far more Forest Gumps.
My Mother had 3 boys and 2 girls. She once told me that they are so different even as babies that she totally rejects the idea that it is caused by environment. She also said she thought little boys were just as sweet as little girls.

I had 3 boys and 2 girls also and totally agree with your mother.

Your story reminds me of some hippy friends. They had two girls first and spent all their time trying to make sure they didn’t do any “gender specific” damage to them. Even so, they wore dresses, played with dolls and cooked with their mom.
Then they had a boy.
Even with their special, non-gender-specific toys, he used a baby doll as a gun and turned a shopping cart toy into a snowplow truck.
Of course, the really funny thing was that no matter how liberal they may have been, he worked on a farm and built things with his hands while she cooked and sewed.
