    1. Self-Awareness. Boys are simply more self aware than girls are. Boys know that once they have got out of bed in the morning‚ that is pretty much as good as they are going to look for the rest of the day. A quick wash and brush up‚ maybe a shave (according to personal and religious preferences) and that is it. We don’t spend time applying many different layers of make-up‚ or agonising over what to wear that day‚ because we know we’d only be trying to fool ourselves. And this then leads to… 2.

    Months later‚ on August 6th‚ 1945‚ the first ever atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. On August 9th‚ 1945‚ a second atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki.
