Yes, and our societies when talking about sex differences in the brain usually assume male brains to be normal, and female brains to be different or in some way deficient.


Most articles I read talks about how to socialize boys to be more like girls. Like, how do we make boys sit still in classroom? How do we make men less violent? How do we make men communicate nicer like women? How do we make men clean their homes instead of being fine with living in a mess? How do we make men want to settle down instead of sleeping around? How do we make men cry more like women? How do we make men talk more about feelings and less about things?

The only things I see they normalize in boys is love for technical subjects. And ever there we don't say that we need to change girls so they love technical subjects, instead we say we need to change boys so that girls can start to love technical subjects. So I very much think that we normalize girls, girls shouldn't have to change anything at all about who they are, instead all social change must happen by changing boys as much as possible into girls.
