My DD can sit and read for 4 hours.

So I understand what you're saying, whoever said "no boy can do that" but you're generalizing.

My sister went to an all girls school. She is a HUGE success now, like mega star in her field

But I do think it stunted her, socially. And all the other girls in her school - it may have played out differently for each of them, but it was liberating and stunting at the same time.[/quote]

Well, but a lot of high achievers would be stunted emotionally no matter where they went.
I went to an all girls school and was socially a loser and then on to engineering college with mostly boys ... who were all pretty socially behind.... 
It's hard to do a lot of work and thinking while caring about the things that socially minded people care about.
For me socializing became more of a thing after I graduated and had more time. But I'm never going to be super polished socially (still have a lot of friends though).
What single sex school gave me was confidence. The guys always think they are smarter and try to shove you out of the way. It's nice to learn and progress a while without that pressure.[/quote]

That's what my sister got, confidence. I think you can't get better than that.[/quote]
