I am not sure that boys and girls are wired differently. I know some women who are more competitive than men, and men who are more collaborative. I think there are basic personalitiy types that we all have, that are inate in all of us. These basic personality types do not change... However culturally boys are taught competition and girls are taught collaboration.

Boys play cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, army....
Little boys play football basketball etc....
How many little boys are taught its ok to fighr?

Little girls play with dolls and Barbies and if there is a disagrrementthey are always taught to get a long. Women are taught to be nuturing etc. If there is a competitve woman she is a *itch and is made to feel guilty about not woorying about realtionships.

There are differences between man and womwn but its more cultural when it comes to competition.
