The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

I'm curious about this. They say that it's related to in utero exposure to androgens, which means it's probably not as clear cut as XX vs XY, because intersex folk and folk with atypical hormonal exposure (such as fraternal twins of different sexes, with a shared placenta) experience different levels of exposure, and different reactions to that exposure.
But most things human are regulated by hormones, because of genes.
Yes, absolutely. But as I said, it's probably not as clear cut as whether you're XX or XY, because there are other factors that can also impact hormone levels and sensitivity to hormones
