I think you have a very valid point.
I do think boys in general are more aggressive and more likely to take risks as well it seems boys have a higher rate of ADHD but yes I agree there is definitely a sneaky factor involved.

In my experience decades ago, boys would hit each other when frustrated or angry. Boys just aren't verbal. Girls exacted their revenge for perceived slights in more vicious way of verbal harassment and social attacks.

Boys would usually make up and forget the whole dispute, especially if teammates in sports. Girls seemed to hold grudges against each other until death.

I think this is true.

Back in high school, boys were much more extraverted with their misdeeds: planning pranks, being disruptive in class, talking back to the teacher, and getting caught pulling pranks. Girls did it too, but not to the same level.

Girls were more sneaky and flew under the radar, but also misbehaved in ways that wouldn't get you suspended (like gossiping and being catty).

It's the Matriarchy and systemic sexism that has been embedded in our culture since the secret meetings of our female oppressors at the founding of this nation. It even goes back as far as cavewoman days, where the females genetically engineered the species so that only they could give birth and proceed to control the minds of the children.

We must educate women on how not to oppress men, ask that they recognize their privilege, and demand that they step down from their positions of power to allow men and other minorities access to those privileges they've enjoyed throughout history.

The End.

High Schools boys are hormonal ****stains. I know because I was once one.

More than likely, high Schools boys act out becasue of this. While cultural influences are undeniably at play, even if they weren't, boys are more likely to be more aggressive by nature.

Also, the education system is basically designed for girls. Boys are naturally more active and tend to not like sitting in place nicely for hours, so they treat boys as misbehaving girls and sometimes medicate them for ADHD.

I'm pretty sure the education system has required students to sit in place nicely for hours since it first began and girls weren't allowed.

It is discrimination, that is the only reason why there can ever be a difference between two or more, defined legally by the US gov, groups.
