No Gap Found In Math Abilities of Girls, Boys
sciencehabit writes "For anyone who still believes that boys are better at math than girls, a massive new study published today in Science shows there's no difference. 'Among students with the highest test scores, the team did find that white boys outnumbered white girls by about two to one. Among Asians, however, that result was nearly reversed. Hyde says that suggests that cultural and social factors, not gender alone, influence how well students perform on tests.' But the researchers do note a disturbing trend towards omitting harder kinds of math questions from standardized tests."
A root cause you'll never hear about IF "you" are a conceived audience of feminist troglydites...and voila...women are once again "really" what is? keeping culture stagnant...as far as VICIOUS...really? as in what a woman will SAY? versus the propensity for a testerone heavy humanoid to execute gunpowder, fire, blunt and sharp instrument and muscular advantage? Insight into human behavior IS gender savvy, but illustrating the subtlety of verbal power struggles with a metaphor of CUDGEL???...this argument is as idiotic as the Harvard guy that started this nonsense for which he should have been decapitated Saudi style...to exagerrate MY point
Would were! Should is! Could be! And live a hundred times three.
If it's good that teaching-style change has made girls completely catch up in mathematics, then obviously you support a change in teaching style that will make boys catch up in biology and psychology - even if that makes it harder for girls - right?
No you idiot, it's only sexism if it's women who are wronged
When you compare the same jobs, same qualifications, same experience, same competency and same working hours, there is no meaningful difference between male and female salaries.
