Neither the Victorians nor the Feminist revisionists had it right when describing gender differences in children, and the resulting effects on raising and teaching them. There aren't vague innate differences, it isn't all hormones, and children aren't all equal but for socialization. There are measurable, structural, genetically-created differences in boy and girl brains, informing how they act, and how they learn.

All new research, over the last five to ten years, all documented, leads to some startlingly new conclusions about the sexes.
-- Right brain - left brain differences: Yes, but in males. In females, things are distributed completely differently.
-- Boys and men can't hear, while the girls always think you're yelling at them? Yes! Girls literally hear better than boys -- about 20 decibels worth.
-- Can't get girls to engage with math, or boys to engage with literature? You have to relate it to them differently, because their brains are different from the basic wiring up.
-- Boys can't describe their feelings, while girls can't stop? Yes. Girls use the same part of the brain or feelings and for verbal skills. Boys use two different parts, which aren't well connected. Boys still feel strong feelings, but in a part that just isn't connected to the part that talks!
-- Girls are two years ahead of boys? No! Girls are *six* years ahead in verbal reasoning, while boys are four years ahead in tracking and spatial reasoning.
