I can believe overall that group of kids (generation?) got damaged in some way, some more than others due to the age/grade and the loss of interactions that help children grow socially. Maybe because girls are more social at those ages that boys? I don’t know if there’s anything to support that and it’s just some stereotype of how grade school girls are.
Girls are also more likely to get forced into chores and caring for siblings.
Great point.
