Boys vs. girls behavior

I’ve noticed that almost always the students who have the most behaviors are boys. Today I had a class of mostly boys, all the girls were well behaved while most the boys were disruptive, disrespectful, and had difficulty doing the work.

It’s frustrating because I feel like it already shows girls at a young age that boys cannot listen, and will not respect boundaries. I’m a mid 20s female, but I feel like I’m great with behaviors and can hold my ground but MAN they exhaust me. Once one pushes, they all follow.

I wish I could do a boys vs girls challenge and see who’s more behaved (as I think the boys would like the competitive aspect) but everyone is soooo against using boy/girl anything.

Any ideas? What helps?

Edit: this is personally my experience in grades 4-6. Plus I’m venting from a long day so take this all with a grain of salt😅
