Of course there is a difference in QUALITY between boy-thoughts and girl-thoughts.

(Quality not as in better, but as in "different" [dict] character or nature, as belonging to or distinguishing a thing).

You are absolutely right. I never understood this idea that 'women should be equal to men in everything'. Outside of pure logical/scientific thinking it simply won't happen. Some societies are more accepting of the idea, while others sacrifice common sense in the altar of political correctness.
