1. Boys’ games are often played in large groups, are competitive, have clear goals, include roughhousing, and have distinct rules and roles. 2. Girls’ games are often played in small groups or pairs and often do not have clear rules or roles like house or school. Players must talk to work out what to do and what roles to play. 3. The size of girls’ groups foster prosocial, cooperative play, while boys’ groups encourage competition. 4. Many girls today play competitive sports and learn the rules of masculine speech communities. This is consistent with standpoint theory’s premise that subordinated groups are motivated to learn the standpoint of dominant groups.
