Gender in Classrooms

Well as i was reading this short story It mostly was talking about what different genders do. Such as men bond by exchanging playful insults and put downs which is true in my experiences. For women he says they talk about troubles I mean so far my knowledge of women they are always talking about how the boyfriend did this to them or how they got in trouble for doing something or other. In the reading when the boy does a presentation in front of his class and no one contradicts him he gets upset. I think he got upset because he wanted someone to realize him. When no one said anything about his presentation he thought it was not good enough for them, but which in all reality it probably was perfect so no one had anything to say.
