> And women did better than men because it turns out men are lazy, don't study, and don't read the assignments. 

Imagine the 'outrage' if your comment was, "And men did better than women because ..."

Sexist comment, perhaps? Or making insulting comments about 'males' never sexist? 

A friend of mine (recently retired high school teacher) commented to me recently that he started to notice the 'Boy Problem' in high school shortly after standardized testing started. His theory was that in earlier grades 'boys' found themselves 'labeled' as being unsuccessful by these results (girls earlier on tend to develop slightly faster than boys) and by the time they got to high school had come to accept their lot in life. 

So the 'missing boys' aren't slacking off at university because they never got there. 

The fact you are writing off a whole gender says a whole lot about you. But of course you have a lot of people in your camp.

Have a nice day.
