I felt exactly the same as your daughter as a kid, and I'm a guy. The cause was the shyness, not gender.

>even though this kid sometimes yells out answers without raising his hands even when the teacher says not to do this

Seems like the problem there is extroversion vs introversion. Less sensitive vs sensitive. Something I can totally relate to.

Well I've suggested to my daughter to start yelling out answers too even though it's not allowed to start getting attention if she doesn't get picked and if she gets in trouble she should say she never gets picked.
