not me, my worst subject.
Crock of gynofeminist crap.
For whatever reason few people in general dig it and way way fewer of them women.
I recall very few females in my ordinary differential equations class.
Several years ago I found my text book in an attic box, literally and figuratively it was all Greek to me now.
I dare the author to perform the same analysis along the politically perilous racial lines.
Symbolic effects of bureaucratic representation assume that outcomes for citizen–clients change in response to the mere presence of bureaucrats with similar backgrounds. The social–psychological mechanisms in clients that may explain these changes are barely examined, though. Based on multi-source data on male and female high school students in the Netherlands, this study empirically tests a theoretical model that links student–teacher gender congruence to students’ performance in math and Dutch language through the mediating role of students’ gender-stereotypical beliefs and self-perceived abilities. The empirical analyses do not support the hypotheses. For student performance in math, no effects were found, while for Dutch language, a negative gender-representation effect was found for male students. In all, the results point at divergent relations between gender congruence, self-perceived abilities and performance for male and female students across subjects. The null results in this study suggest that symbolic effects of gender representation may be affected by national context and socio-economic status which should be considered as new frontiers for future research on representative bureaucracy.
If that doesn't convince you...
Unlike the obvious and undeniable physical differences between men and women, these types of differences are most likely purely societal based.
Most colleges have a nearly 2 to 1 girl to guy ratio now, and things like this gender math gap are dramatically changing.
Unearned math privilege ping.
Math was Not a favorite of mine I hated school just because it.
What didn’t help was when the schools went to that New Math crap. So I was confused even more and it seemed to me that No two Teachers were using the same instruction playbook.
First... Define a man.
Academia these days can’t even tackle that one.

I believe that men and women are wired differently in their brains, and that each sex has an advantage over the other in various areas.
But that doesn’t mean they cannot be normalized or overcome, but I believe males and females process various things differently at a fundamental level.
Sometimes to advantage for each.
Sometimes to disadvantage to each.
But in most cases, disparities can be compensated for by hard work, desire, and interest.
Also, it is interesting to note IQ distribution across the curve for men and women. I have heard that men can disproportionally inhabit the highest IQ sectors of the curve, but...can also be found disproportionally at the lower IQ sectors of the curve.
Women tend to aggregate a little closer to the mean than men do.
At least, this is what I have gathered from various sources, and my experiences in life somewhat support these views.
Somebody has to say it. Men are better at math than women.
I still can’t figure out how long it takes the hawk to catch the pigeon and I’d like to waterboard the guy who put that question on the test. 😏
“A meta-analysis on gender differences in mathematics performance showed that males have an advantage when the mathematical concepts require more reasoning and are more spatial in nature.”
Three things.
First, I believe the above is true.
Second, boys have a larger standard deviation on most traits. That means that more of the boys will be vastly overrepresented at the extreme levels, both better and worse.
Three, more girls in college earning degrees does not mean they are going to surpass boys in mathematics.
As always anything in the msm focus on spinning equivalency.
Depends on who’s asking.
Any liberal would say, “No, and that’s sexist!”
I would say, “Depends on how complicated the math is. I’m good at basic math but bad at advanced math.”
boys, real boys, doing boy things, are always looking at size and shape of things, how parts fit/go together, measuring lines and angles by eye, how strong something is, all without even thinking it/let alone knowing they’re doing it, and they do it their whole lives...
when it comes to math i’d say that is where headstart comes from
Looking at the high end (perfect score of 800 on math), there are a lot more math-gifted boys than girls.
“Specifically, at the highest level of math performance on the SAT test last year for perfect scores of 800, there were 11,098 males and 5,570 females achieving those scores, meaning that nearly 2 males achieved perfect scores for every one female (male-female ratio of 1.99-to-1). Adjusted for the fact that more females (903,719) than men (794,802) took the SAT test in 2015, the percentage of males who earned perfect scores of 800 points was 1.4% compared to the percentage of females with perfect scores of 0.62%. That produces an adjusted male-female ratio of 2.26-to-1 (vs. the 1.99 unadjusted ratio) for high school students who had perfect 800-point scores.”
