@basadeskaiser @deprecated wait until they start breaking up the data by sex.
@RikaDerufu @basadeskaiser @deprecated @lichelordgodfrey @sickburnbro I think women have higher grades because the educational system has been shifted from a competitive system to a cooperative system. Men excel at the former, women excel at the later.

Here's a metaphor for how the education system is biased:
boys learn how to hammer nails by picking up a hammer, nails, and by hitting their fingers a few dozen times until they learn.
girls learn by picking up a book and reading about hammering nails.
When exam time comes, they're not asked to hammer some nails, they're asked to write an essay about hammering nails. The girls just have to memorize and repeat what they read in a book. The boys have to write an essay from scratch that will compete with the works written by adults that the girls read and memorized.
At the end of the day, who is it that is better at hammering nails and who is it that the schools will give a higher grade to?
Unless you turn back the system in what it used to be, one in which boys and girls are given hammer and nails and asked to hammer the nail to a board, then everyone is scored on how well they hammered the nail and a publicly ranked.
Boys who ranked lower at first will try to learn how to hammer the nail better next time. While girls will have to either do the same and compete or keep failing because reading how nails and hammered doesn't make you good at actually hammering then.
