Some scientists from London initiated some tests for two large groups of kids some time ago. One group of boys, ages 6-9, and equally many girls. Both of the groups got the chance to do some exercies, and the boys often chose competitions that really had no winners. They just co-operated for the fun of it. The girls, on the other hand, refused to compete unless there was some prize involved for the best ones of them.
It IS true that girls are trying to excel and become better than other people, it has been scientifically proven. Another example, if two guys begin to argue/fight, it's very likely that they will more or less become friends again, but if girls would do that, they would most likely never talk to each other again.
My guess would be that it has to do with instincs. Women are still "less worthy" than men in many countries, their salaries, which are often up to 20% lower than their male assistants/partners doing the same job, are a good example of that. Still many of the world's most brilliant scientists, richest people and even most ingenious chefs are male, even though it has sounded like women are actually working harder than men so far.
Of course, these are just some general facts, there are ALWAYS exceptions. I really don't like statistics that much anyway.
