In forensic anthropology that often deals with investigating the human skeletal remains of murder victims, MIA’s, or that which is in mass genocides graves… it is difficult to scientifically identify the skeletal remains of children as either female or male.
At certain ages there is little sexual dimorphism between the sexes among Homo sapiens.
In fact anthropologically and biologically speaking females begin to physically mature faster than boys. I know as a smaller boy among boys 99% of girls stood taller and weighed heavier than me.
As an adult American male few American born and raised females stand taller than me (though quite a number are heavier than I am). Among many of the Muslim women at my university from Western and Eastern Asia I tower over them.
But if one took religion and gender priorities (e.g., “boys should not hit girls”) out of it. Looked at the issue from a purely scientific perspective, and informed one’s opinions from the behaviors of chimpanzees (the males frequently, violently beat the females), young American boys arguably should be reared to throw elbows, upper cuts, and knees, and land with stomps to various anatomical points on American girls who are either competitively their same size or larger than them.
On the other hand… from a non-scientific stand point that places value on gender (which is not one and the same as biological sex) differences, such as that of religion, which promotes the early development of concepts as chivalry and treating females as “ladies” then even boys smaller than girls ought be instilled with the idea it is wrong to hit or meet girls with violence.
The world of the chimpanzees is interesting though. I have an anthropology professor that says basically male chimpanzees jump on (violently attack) the female chimpanzees for just about any reason that ticks them off. They raise “domestic violence” almost up to a sport level.
The non-religious are fond of pointing out the chimps as are closest relatives.
But what I would like to say… there is nothing particularly remarkable about a girl in grade school performing well in football among grade school boys. It would be remarkable in college football or the NFL where sexual dimorphism is far more pronounced between male and female humans anatomically.
But don’t let science interrupt ideology or the attempt to erode social and moral values that attempt to promote the protection of the so-called “weaker” sex.

And the teenage boy looking up perplexed, “You mean her…?”
