Actually, studies show that girls and boys do exhibit different behaviours even right after birth, so gender typical behaviours are not just a cultural phenomenon. I saw an informative program about it on the telly last year
edit :
I could add that as a biologist, it makes perfect sense. Biology gives rise to behaviour. Boys and girls have different biology and so on so it makes sense they have different behaviour.
