The differences that underlie male and female vulnerabilities are biological and present at birth. Baby girls, from day one, are more sensitive to isolation and lack of contact. No doubt this sensitivity evolved as an important survival skill designed to keep the female in contact not only with her offspring but also with others in the group who would offer her protection. In the days of roaming predators, the only hope of survival was to help one another ward off an enemy. A woman or child left alone was sure prey. So over the millennia, females developed a kind of internal GPS that keeps them aware of closeness and distance in all their relationships. When a woman feels close, she can relax; when she feels distant, she gets anxious. This is why a baby girl can hold your gaze for a long period of time. She is comforted by the closeness the eye–to–eye contact provides. It also explains why, left alone for the same period of time, a girl baby will fuss and complain before a boy baby. This heightened sensitivity to isolation makes females react strongly to another person’s anger, withdrawal, silence, or other sign of unavailability. It is more frightening to her to be out of contact than it is for a male. This is not to say that males prefer isolation or distance; it's just that females feel more discomfort when they are not in contact.

I have 4 children of my own plus I have been a child care provider in my home for 20 years. I have cared for numerous infants, both boys and girls. I don't have scientific evidence, but from my personal experience, I do not think that there is a clear pattern of baby girls crying more than baby boys. As I think of the babies in my care that cried the most, the top 2 criers are boys.

No. Why would gender matter? Babies are babies, and they cry.. some are just 'good babies' and don't cry very much while others cry a lot.. gender doesn't have anything to do with it.
