Actually, it may, but the sentence must be rephrased, "I think my daughter likes playing with dolls, but I've never tried to see if she prefers toys that promote understanding of spatial relations and geometry." There are a number of studies suggesting that tradionally "male" spatial-relation toys (Legos, Lincoln Logs, K'Nex, even things like toy dump trucks) promote a greater understanding of mathematical concepts later on in life than dolls, tea sets, and other "female" toys.
What we should be doing, instead of saying, "Men are better at this and women are better at that," is take a look at how we raise our kids and just how that effects their future comprehension of various subjects.
