I do think that it is outragious that TAG is not allowed, and that boys gotta pee sitting down in Norway. However, Masculinity and Femininity are both outdated concepts. Most of the women I know would have been called "tomboys" in any eairlier age, and where I live the girls are the ones who usualy win at Tag. And equating Math and History to masculinity is dumb anyways. I've seen guys and gals doing equily well in all my math classes. Learning is genderless. I do agree that Elementary and Highschool level classes should be tougher though. Much tougher, and more advanced. Learning is also importent.
