Your being down voted because no one wants to hear it, but there is some truth to it. It isn't so much a biological difference (there may be some of that) but one that is likely a byproduct of how we socialize children [1]. Fixing this issue in adults is a hell of a lot harder to fix than it is in kids. It doesn't help that software engineering as a whole, is to varying degrees, broken. From how we interview to how we manage projects [2]. We simply have no idea how to build something effective and repeatable within the constraints of the current system.
