Who better to know the practical development of the brain than an teacher? You don't need to be a neuroscientist to understand how males and females, particularly at the high school age, approach interaction differently. While the statements may have been generalizations, they aren't "horrifically sexist."

Un-hijacking this thread, I'd like to point out that the harassment we are talking about here isn't purely physical, it can be verbal as well. My team has dealt at least a few times with other students, mentors, and once an entire team and the way they were interacting with our largely female student population. The important thing is to bring event staff attention to it, because if they don't know then the occurrence doesn't get tracked and everyone thinks everything is just fine.
