Math Anxiety is kind of a logical reaction anyone can develop from having difficulty with math inside or outside of a class. It doesn't have to do with gender, I don't think, but probably girls are still more likely to develop it than guys... because -at least from my experience at the university level- the majority is still male in math and physics academia. This influences the education teachers themselves receive. It takes time for social prejudices to change, though they should probably be changing a little faster now...
