We can adjust relative offending rates between the sexes simply by devising rules that prohibit behaviour more commonly found in one sex that the other. There were even a couple of sexist rules at my school – until somebody pointed out that they were sexist. Girls were not allowed to wear make-up or jewellery. Offending rates amongst girls were far, far greater than amongst boys – simply because, as written, the prohibition didn’t apply to boys. Admittedly, when the rule was changed to include boys, still far more girls than boys broke it.
