"why do girls and boys play completely different games?"I think it's part nature, and part nurture.On the one hand, boys and girls often think differently. Studies on schools and education have proven that boys learn on average in a way that is different from the way that girls learn on average. This is part of the reason why boys are actually hurting in schools: practice, hands on, competitive learning is what boys tend to relate to...and what they're getting is more reading, more talking, and everyone wins ideas that leave them bored and frustrated.On the other hand, there's no question that society grooms boys and girls in different ways. If you're a feminist, you think it's an insidious effort to relegate women to the back benches of society, but frankly it has nothing to do really with girls and women at all.Society grooms boys to be more interested in martial activities, disciplines boys more sternly when they do wrong, and continues to package and sell war to boys because what society really needs...is for boys to grow into men who carry that typical, chivalrous, disposable psyche within them...and become the ones who do the grueling, dangerous jobs of the future.Society encourages girls who want to buck the trend...you see this in comments when a girl succeeds in a sport like wrestling and says "I like to wrestle boys because it's fun to make them cry," or "I like wrestling because I wanted to prove that anything a boy can do, a girl can do...better."In the odd places where boys participate in female dominated hobbies/activities/sports, one thing you'll never hear is a boy claiming he did it because he 'wanted to prove that anything a girl can do, a boy can do better.'It all comes back to one of the major points that Warren Farrell has long made: society carries this illusion that men have all the choices, but from the time we're boys, society makes a point of giving us fewer choices, less freedom, and more obligation vs the choices, freedom and obligation that girls and women have.In other words, boys and girls are interested in different games because of both nature (ie. their brains are different and respond to different stimuli) and nurture (ie. boys have to be groomed for a harsher life, while girls tend to be free to explore their options), and the expectations that each grows into in adulthood!@ Ser Woesband: Actually you're kind of on to something (ie. the idea that girls are freer to develop emotional learning than boys are), but completely wrong about something else. Don't kid yourself: boys from an early age are taught to be indifferent to violence directed at other males...but this is not at all true about violence directed at females. If anything, boys are the ones who are conflicted on this front...because where a girl will not bat an eyelash if she sees a girl or boy roughing up a girl or boy who would otherwise seem to deserve it, a boy will almost always have a moral objection to seeing a boy roughing up a girl...even if that girl deserved it! Boys will seldom intervene to protect boys from other boys...but they're MUCH more likely to intervene to protect girls from boys.
