She definately views reading encyclopaediae (?) and dictionaries - rather than just looking things up in them - as a male trait (though I don't remember ever reading the dictionary as a child!).
She is a primary teacher, and she says a lot of the boys she teaches do this, whilst very few of the girls. Similarly, she says boys are much more interested in flags, and generally "classifying things".
No mention was made of treasury tags, though they are wonderful things. I always assumed they had been used in the Treasury! (Believe it or not, there is an item in wikipeadia on treasury tags (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasury_tags), but it is simply a description of what they are.)
