As an engineer I have (anecdotally) noticed that a disproportionate number of the women in STEM fields come from more paternalistic parts of the world where sons are commonly favoured over daughters.  I've wondered if that was cultural, success being the greatest revenge.

But mostly I think we are born, rather than made, in this regard.  My teen daughter has never lifted a doll, preferring to take things apart and put them back together.
