What is true is that girls are not encouraged to do the 'hard' subjects. It is not the ability, it is the lack of ever being encouraged to try. (future soccer moms)

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Girls are given every encouragement over boys in today's feminized school system, but they still cannot touch boys in math.

Read C. Sommers' "The War Against Boys".

What we're talking about here is a difference in math ability......undeniable based on SAT data, which is consistent year after year, decade after decade, with no exceptions.
