You know my opinion on the gender differences. IMNSHO, little girls who 
are a bit spacey, doing mediocre work, and not causing trouble, are the 
class that is most often overlooked. The prevailing attitude has been, 
"OK, so she's not the brightest, but she'll get married and does need a 
good education."
