I think I found it in this opinion piece written by the author of Mindset:
> Boys also learn to cope with criticism through sheer volume. Teachers call out boys eight times more often than girls. Boys are more likely to misbehave, be messy and speak out of turn. Girls, by contrast, are more compliant, so when they are criticized it feels more serious.
I may have a few of the details wrong (such as 8x vs 10x), but I think the general idea remains true.
> Do you have some good literature on learned gender differences (especially in STEM) that you could point me towards?
Have you read Still Failing at Fairness? The Sadker's work is the most extensive research on the subtle bias in education that I've seen.
There have been a few studies lately on ingrained bias vs merits. One prominent one from last year was: given the same application materials with only the name changed, the male applicant was rated higher on competence, hireability, and whether the scientist would be willing to mentor this student.
I'm really ill right now or I would look through my link list. Geek Feminism is where I get most of them though since I have yet to see a study elsewhere that I hadn't seen there first. Thanks for the link. I hadn't read that one, but I have seen a lot of people, including women, see quotas as that way. The anti-feminisim machine at work :/
