If treated equally womans math skill equal mens

It has been debated that men are better at math then woman and if so, why. Reports of boys doing better in maths are often explained in terms of their superior spatial awareness, while girls head start in reading is attributed to their verbal recall skills.

But this may not be biological but a result of the social conditions

Paola Sapienza, a researcher at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and his colleagues looked at the results of maths and reading tests taken by more than 275,000 15-year-old students across 40 different countries.

They found that in country's where share equal position to men there was virtually no gender gap in math and in country that had less equality between men and woman boys did better than girls.

In reading girls in all country's had better reading scores than boys band did even better in country's with grater gender equality

    Dude the inequality in THIS society was set up by the “masters” (big corporations + goverment) to indirectly continue doing 2 things: (1) Maintain the status quo, and (2) Keep generating profits. Bottom line, that’s all that matters. And as long as they keep the masses confused over whatever topic (Match vs. Girls, Women in the Army, Rowe vs. Wade, whatever), they will keep fattening their pockets and keeping control of the masses.

    It’s all Mass Mentality, bro. No way around it (for now). Most of us, as individuals, are NOT stupid. In fact as individuals we tend to be a little smarter than we allow credit for. It’s when we’re in big groups (like, when we are enrolled in school), we become like fucking retarded sheep. All of a sudden, because someone has a vagina, they’re not good at math? What a bunch of bull.
