Via Dorknewz, a great article by Brenda Laurel on Purple Moon, girl games, and how women interact:
The feminist ideal of collaboration is not a great recipe for getting
things done. On the contrary --- without a clear authority
structure, a faux-flat organization forces people to resort to
the underworld secret alliances and covert operations in order
to exercise personal power. Such an organization can expend far
too much energy on the complexities of its emotional and political
life.

In the Girls rock genre I got this....
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,
while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in
the summer each year (the only members of the deer
family, Cervidae, to have females do so), male
reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of
winter, usually late November to mid December. Female
reindeer retain their antlers until after they give
birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every
historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every
single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen. . . had
to be a female! We should've known. Only women would
be able to drag a big fat man in a red velvet suit all
around the world in one night, and not get lost!
