Does one's outlook, knowledge, and theories of the world differ depending upon gender?

I was raised by a military father, my mother died when I was very young and I was taught a “girls place is in the home”. I truly believed a mans ideas and opinion were correct; until my girls came along. I went back to school and I read a lot and formed my own ideas my own opinion. I then taught my girls and boys to think for themselves. Gender was a major part of my outlook and thinking as it was my fathers. Gender still effects my outlook only now it is first of all, educated, flexible and honest then it is female.
