>Maccoby sets out to explain the great mystery of gender development: the virtually universal existence of gender segregation among children, which remains impervious to the best efforts of egalitarian-minded parents and teachers. Boys and girls will play together if adults require them to, although it's often "side-by-side" play, in which each does his or her own thing, but given their druthers, children self-segregate. The result, Maccoby argues, is the emergence of a "girls' culture" and a "boys' culture" that are strikingly different in play styles, toy preferences and ways of interacting. Before long, as with any two nations, schools or ethnic groups, boys and girls identify with their own in-group, they stereotype and disparage members of the out-group, and they misunderstand or feel uncomfortable with the other group's ways of doing things. The most puzzling fact about the two cultures of gender, however, is their asymmetry. Boys' groups, Maccoby shows, are "more cohesive than girls' groups: more sexist, more exclusionary, more vigilant about gender-boundary violations by their members, and more separate from adult culture."
