What I am saying would be sexist, if I said that girls are limited by their anatomy to act in a certain way. From my point of view, a lot of girls are, by our culture, made to be very obsessed with fitting into their gender role, more so than boys are. Indeed, there is put a lot more work into preserving masculinity than feminity, because masculinity is more important, from a cultural perspective. If a girl acts like a boy, it's ok. If a boy acts like a girl, it's not okay. However, to solve this problem, the masculine role is a lot wider, meaning you can get away with a lot more stuff, and stay masculine (in the eyes of society), which you cannot do as a girl, if you want to stay feminine.
The whole subject is very dependent on the immediate culture. What I have simply observed, with most of the girls I encounter, is that they are more interested in being pretty than discussing, say, politics. It's not that they can't, it's just that they are so hard to get out of their little shell. To get a genuine conversation, instead of a facade. And that's terrible.
