and Mark Allinson, whose well-judged observation that 'The great fact of the matter is that men - for profound emotional and psychological reasons - TEND to be more driven to create THINGS (of all types) than women' really hit the nail on the head for me. Indeed, this last remark reminded me of my six year old twin boys, who TEND to like nothing better than creating CHAOS, while their older sister is trying to read.
Thank you, Jane - and welcome to Eratosphere.

I am glad to see that you support my assertion, since you acknowledge the significant and innate differences between your male and female offspring.

I am sure you don't socialize your boys to behave in this way – perhaps they are picking up the wrong role model behaviour from school or television. They must be getting this behaviour from some social source, since we know that it can't be anything innate. Nothing from Nature, surely.
