I definitely believe the reason of difference between men and women behaving comes down to society's teachings.

This is true, however have you studied how the brain actually changes with experiences yet? Basically, HOW you are brought up makes a difference, and females are socialized way differently to males. We are taught to put others first, be more empathetic and so on. From birth babies are treat differently based on if they are male or female. As such, the female and male brains can be different, but it is based on our lifestyles. There is no such thing as a 'male brain' or 'female brain' though, that much is true. And scientists cannot tell a male brain from a female one just by studying it.

I do think hormones may play a part too.

I would agree with jenny on this. Obviously as an overall average rather than individual people though..
