Stuff like this worries me. I have a girl and two active boys, who love math, taking things apart and (sometimes successfully) putting them back together. And running around, shouting, arguing, jumping, throwing things, making lots of noise, doing stuff with Dad and Grandpa, etc. (A lot like their father ;-)
Normal boys. We have the ER bills to prove it, plus several packs of frozen vegetabls that exist for first aid, never to be eaten.
Such boys, BTW, are not portrayed as heroes in books or TV. The boys are clowns, sidekicks or adversaries to the smart girl main characters.
I’m worried that when they are out of school, there will be no jobs left for normal boys.
The normal boys will be the ones running things. Just keep them normal.

But, you can bet that violent criminals (especially the “guy in the tower with a gun”) are male. Doesn’t that just scream success to guys? [/sarc][/cynic]
{Though, to be perfectly honest sometimes violence is needed. Look at soldiers for instance; and look at Congress, they’re so entrenched and corrupt that I honestly doubt anything will change until their lives are put into sudden and immediate danger.}
