1. Being a girl who used to play ‘guy’s games’, I can’t agree with this one 🙂

3 – having 2 boys, I see the same contrast all the time. Of course there are exceptions. One boy had a close girlfriend in grades 1-2 and they would just walk around the playground talking. You’d think it was him acting ‘like a girl’, except that she was very much a tomboy. My other boy has a female friend that likes those boy games, too, but that is not typical. The boys are playing war from the get go, despite politically correct parents avoiding all war and combat-themed toys, stories, and videos in early life. The girls, not so much.

I like how you present several lines of speculation without picking any single answer, as I don’t believe we (science) has answered the question. It would be a good idea to address the fact that there are girls who like combat games. I think the last sentence is the weakest in the essay, a bit predictable. Dive deeper.

“3” in that I learned new things about young males, so I appreciate having not just having an enjoyable read but getting interesting information as well. However, “2” in that I think it’s good for an alternate but it’s not quite there for the 1st cut.
