    Gender is memetically defined.

    Is what you are really asking:

    Is there a sex-linked bias in the aquisition and transmission of memes that
    is not dependent on previously aquired memes?

    To your original question, the biases that are obvious seem to be memetically
    mediated, that is different memeplexes develop for masculine vs feminine. I
    discussed this a bit in my paper at: http://voyager.cbe.wwu.edu/gender/
