What is their source? 
- they could be a part of a marketing scam 
- the key question is: how do they know? 
- <span> Who produced it and what background do they have?
- what other studies could the group have produced?</span>

Is the main point of the claim proven by evidence? 
- In order to figure out if something is reliable or not, you have to ask whether it makes sense and whether the conclusions were proven
- do the conclusions follow logically from what has been cited, or are they being drawn from evidence that doesn't support them at all? 

Do the sources have a bias? 
- That<span> doesn’t necessarily mean what they have to say isn’t reliable
- But think about whether they are a witness to facts or are just describing their opinion

Are gender traits completely a result of societal expectations? Justify your answer.​
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

No. Gender traits in humans are largely determined by biophysical processes.

Explanation:

There seems to be a vocal political faction that is trying to convince people in the name of liberty and equality that gender traits are completely learned, and therefore arbitrary. But this claim disagrees with scientific evidence. In general, boys play more with cars and girls play more with dolls not because their parents are perpetuating outdated gender stereotypes, but because their brain is telling them to. This fact does not mean that boys have to play with boy toys, or that boys who play with dolls aren't really boys. It is just a scientific observation about average behavior and its link to fetal development.
