Baby girls are born interested in emotional expression. They take meaning about themselves from a look, a touch, every reaction from the people they come into contact with. From these cues they discover whether they are worthy, lovable, or annoying. But take away the signposts that an expressive face provides and you’ve taken away the female brain’s main touchstone for reality. … Little girls do not tolerate flat faces. They interpret an emotionless face that’s turned toward them as a signal that they are not doing something right.
