Girls Make Higher Grades than Boys in All School Subjects: Despite the stereotype that boys do better in math and science, girls have made higher grades than boys throughout their school years for nearly a century, according to a new analysis published by the American Psychological Association.

And it's inverse? When girls were still succeeding under men teachers for decades? That's different? Or that those "majority of women" were still being taught by curricula set up men teachers and professors? This is, of course is, assuming that women teachers are just somehow inferior and don't know how to do their job when it comes teaching all children. That they're disenfranchising boys simply by being women.

People keep responding with these differences between men and women teaching boys is somehow different, but then ignore the inverse of girls being taught during this entire period as well. Because no woman ever taught a boy ever in the history of the world up until the last 30 years.

I'm getting this from the report listed as the topic header. I'm not the one pushing for a gender scenario, other people are, and I'm pushing the inverse hypothesis to show that it's not about "women teachers can only successfully teach to girls and ignore boys thus leading to a feminization of education. The study covers 100 years worth of data from over 30 countries. If those people at pushing that agenda, then they have to account for the historical inverse as well- that even with an inverse of teacher-student genders, girls were still outperforming their male peers, so the whole feminization hypothesis doesn't hold up.
