Right, forgot about my formative years spent living in the UK and learning in their education system.
Regardless, it's not a "many" boys phenomenon, but rather a "some" boys instance. As pretty much every report on the matter suggests, biological development plays a part, with non-cognitive factors reaching far and wide.
I can't speak to studies but as Rouge said, I can't possibly give one real example of a boy I knew thinking that reading (or, even more problematic is your assertion that learning) is "for girls."
Though, I feel dumb that I have to ask, what's your point anyway? What does this have to do with diversity categories at U of M?
