RE: Are boys better in Physics - my own little research
Generally speaking, among almost any kind of skill, I believe the power of evolution has caused the distribution of men to be flatter than the distribution of women - take a population and pick out the 5% worst and 5% best at almost any skill or subject (in this case: physics), and I think it's quite likely that there will be mostly men in this group of people.
Based on that I do believe that if you find some average people on the street, the chances are that there isn't much correlation between sex and skills in physics - but a top notch physician is more likely to be a man than a woman.
There is also another force at play, women generally spend more time and energy on birth and childcare, hence they have less time available for academics.
And again, there is nothing wrong with that
If we compare the results of Kalenji people in marathon, they are way, way better than for example - Serbs.

How it became wrong to say that even Kanyan Women are faster than Balkan Men?
How is it wrong to say that Men are more successful in High-End Physics?
I simply don't understand...
