"Scores on the new writing tests averaged 497 points out of 800, with females averaging 502, 11 points higher than males. Test is sexist... Males should have their score automatically increased by 11 points to make up for historical disadvantage....."

Huh?

502-497=5. Where does the 11 pt difference come from?
