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.....

Not that long ago colleges used two different scores for admission. Women were accepted with lower math scores than men. Both scores were listed in the College Admissions book.

Uh, maybe males should have handicapped scores because they have a distinct blood loss from primary to secondary head, not to recover until the age of about 50.
