...above and below the median? There are thus many more times the number of men than women with high IQ's and the same for low IQ's.
Modern education systems have been dumbed down so that you only need an average IQ to do well. Thus more women than men do well at education. It used to be that in order to get the top grades you had to have a high IQ, thus men did better at education than women.
Other ways education have been geared towards women to ensure that they do well is by making the curriculum touchy feely, with no wrong answers, a concentration on rote learning rather than the understanding of complex theories, high marks given to coursework and lower marks to exams.
In South Australia, the female education minister wanted children to do charity work as a part of their school certificate! We voted her out of office.
