  • If boys and girls are treated differently, they will act differently
  • Very few differences in their brains
  • Brains development is related to society
  • Experiences teach children different skills and attitudes based on gender
  • Girls underestimate their abilities and have lower confidence and self-esteem
  • The only emotion boys could express well was emotion
  • Girls underestimate, boys overestimate
  • Girls had lower confidence and boys had trouble with sympathy
  • Seeing men and women in professions they don't usually do can help their perceptions
  • Less then 10% of engineers and less than 20% architects are women
  • Boys may be encouraged to play games based on spacial awareness
  • When adults choose toys for children this could lead them to conform to stereotypes, forcing on identity onto them
  • Boys get angry when they don't achieve ambitions and can't verbalize their emotions 
  • Interventions may not work on their own

  • Things in the brain aren't fixed-experiences will affect them
  • Toys can affect children's futures and what they can achieve
  • Toilets became unisex, but the children did not like it
  • The children were given toys stereotyped 'boy' or 'girl' but without provoking packaging. They found them very enjoyable

  • In the final spatial awareness test boys and girls were equal (5 each in top ten)
