There are lots of people in your environment even at a young age, and you go to different places and you do lots of things all of which eventually alter the way the young budding mind will think. And influences might not always go the way one would think, with the child eventually rebelling against the said influence, for example.

It is wrong to trivialise the question, but I happen to think that a lot (not all, but a lot) of the gender differences can be explained by social factors.

Another point is that by always talking about genders and supposed gender differences you cement said differences.
