Study buries notion that girls are inferior at mathematics

So what? If the study proved the opposite we'd "try harder to bring about equality".

The game is rigged in that if women are behind, the system is changed to fix that or extra money is granted for certain programs that specifically help women.

When the opposite is true (e.g. now there are more women than men in college), nothing is done.

This is all quite ridiculous.

We all started this with the assumption that women were as good at everything as men and ignored every instance where they are doing better than men.

So if you start off with the assumption that women are just as good as men at everything and keep messing with the system and giving special preference to helping women whenever they are behind (assuming that the reason must be discrimination) how can you come to any situation that didn't match completely with the assumption you made in the first place?

How on earth could different sexes exist in the first place if they were equally good at everything but reproduction whilst women have a more complex reproductive system? Somehow female bodies are completely superior to male bodies and Evolution consistently made a huge goof up on every single mammal in existence, or people are rigging the game in the favor of women (something that is obviously occuring in every area feminists start whining about).

hey Jill Tucker, you know the first sentence of your article casts doubt on the entire study because you make it sound like the researchers had an agenda. Way to go you idiotic woman. now go cook dinner and clean the house

What the study said was that school in general favors those who can sit still and study under the guideliness that schools put forth -- and this favors girls over boys, who fidget more and prefer to learn in more hands-on ways. Teachers are also more often women, and their class rules better apply to them.(There are more men in high school, but by then, kids generally develop a sense of "being good at" a subject or not.)

Studies show that boys are at a huge disadvantage by the nature of the school system itself: it shouldl include more hands-on opportunities, to make things, other than just an annual science fair project; boys also learn math better more by hands-on activities, starting in K-1, but priority is given in school to girls' ability to "sit still and listen," behave, regurgitate.

Low-life girls can't add but they can sure multiply.
