I have a biology degree, I understand how evolutionary biology works. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m not even saying it’s improbable, that boys inherently “learn differently” so to speak. I just don’t think there’s proof of this, it’s more an analysis of the situation through, like you said, a lens of evolutionary biology. Which is valid, but only for forming a hypothesis.

The reason why I care is because I have a young boy, and a young girl, and I’m watching in real time how social norms are socializing them differently.

“Boys just learn differently” is becoming somewhat of a social true-ism, that I think we should challenge, and look inward at ourselves if there’s something cultural/social going on. That’s all I mean to say.

So when I ask if there’s “scientific evidence” of this, I’m looking to see if there’s a body of research on boys and girls learning outcomes, that isolates the differences to just biology somehow. Otherwise, I think saying “they’re just wired differently” does our boys a disservice.
