I quite agree. Repetition works wonders on the weak minded (which SO many men are). Men themselves admit they prefer to go along ("keep my head down"). A man with a true spine is an exception. Women are the more courageous sex, and demonstrate that fact in so many ways.
I remember the "boys are better at" propaganda in grade school. I also remember my A's and boy's C's, and, being scientifically inclined and reality based, decided it was a lie, and dismissed it.

Edit. I wonder if men's violence against women also stems from this. Men see the evidence of their inferiority a/o failures... Feel (not emotional - haha, sure!). And act out.
