> Looking back I interpret girls doing better in school tragically - they are not "better" than boys, but (on average) more obiedient and adapted. So yet another way how they draw the short straw in our society. Same realisation I have looking back at school in Brazil, girls would conform more easily to the mold required by schools: be obedient, follow instructions, don't speak up, don't go against the accepted flow. And yes, all of that now seems to stem from the way girls are raised to fit into the "female gender role", it sucks and I hope that girls can do better at school while not being oppressed, doing better at school at the expense of your self-expression isn't that good of a trade-off.
