Why do more boys stammer than girls?
As in the case of other developmental problems where tension is involved (for details see Reasons and Remedies, Paticia Sims ISBN 0953620921), the ratio is about 3-4 : 1 in favour of girls. When developmental problems are viewed together, one can conclude that boys have more inherent tension than girls. This makes sense when you consider that males evolved as hunters and fighters and as protectors of women and children – they needed more tension for a good ‘fight or flight’ response!
