NO.
or which behavior do you have in mind?
agressiveness? it has nothing to do with male hormones per se. it is
because males are socialized in that way. that is why it becomes a manly
charecteristic..there are agressive women too, and the reason why they do
so is because 1) they either internalize the dominant cultural practices
by normalizing male violence (for example think about "son obbsessed"
mothers who think it is their son's right to mistreat his wife) or 2)
agresssion is one of the ways of "coping" with patriarchal norms as an
unarticulated form of resistance (See for this Deniz Kandiyoti's analyis
of gender relations in Turkey, an article published in _Feminist Studies_
"Emancipated but Unliberated"). Since patriarchy relagates women to the
level of insignifigance and routine practices (such as mothering), women's
way of articulating violence significantly differs due to their
victim position...
